Paranormal Activity, Arty Froushan, Guess How Much I Love You, Fiona Button
The London Theatre ReviewShow Notes
Boo!! This week Nancy and the Nicks are cowering behind their large, slightly warm glasses of chardonnay as they experience the stage adaptation of supernatural horror Paranormal Activity. Two out of three critics were terrified - listen to find out who has nerves of steel.
The trio also take in Luke Norris's harrowing play Guess How Much I Love You at the Royal Court, and Nick Curtis talks to Fiona Button, currently starring in one of Tom Stoppard's masterpieces Arcadia at the Old Vic.
Plus, Arty Froushan takes a break from murdering people in a well-tailored suit as he plays Patrick Bateman in American Psycho: The Musical and answers our five questions.
