<title>Perfume Genius / Cate Le Bon @ Captain's Rest, 8 May</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Cate Le Bon has a clarification to make: contrary to received Twitter wisdom, she is neither German, nor a Viking. We don&rsquo;t know the context to these misattributions, but we&rsquo;d guess the former stems from her bewitching vocal style; while Welsh vowels make her real home unmistakable, there&rsquo;s something in...

<title>Marriage of Figaro @ Lyceum</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    The Lyceum&rsquo;s new adaptation of The Marriage of Figaro relocates Pierre Beaumarchais&rsquo; 1778 French original, focusing on the (literal) ins and outs of the French nobility, to the heated atmosphere of the boardroom. It all seems hideously appropriate and Beaumarchais&rsquo; script is used as a precision spring board to touch...
