Performance review: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Alien, Adelphi Theatre, London

Conceptually ambitious and visually dense but tonally inconsistent and lacking a clear artistic throughline.

A fair-skinned woman comforts a fair-skinned man as he weeps with his head against her chest. Both are dressed in drab period garments reflecting the play's setting of the 1690s. The photograph depicts Gavin Drea as John Proctor and Phoebe Pryce as Elizabeth Proctor in 'The Crucible' at Shakespeare's Globe.
