Reviewed by Barry Lenny, Wednesday 5th August 2026. I never had children and, consequently, never had grandchildren wanting me to watch films with them. I, therefore, make no comparisons or point out any differences between the stage production of Anastasia and the film from which it was adapted.

It takes a lot to lure me away from a roaring fire and a sleepy dog, to take two buses across town in the middle of winter but Bright, a new play from Sean Riley and the Free Agents Youth Theatre drew me to the Goodwood Theatre, not once, but twice. I am a great admirer of Sean Riley and his company.
