‘The President’s Cake’ is sprightly, appealing & involving child’s-eye view comedy odyssey set against backdrop of beauty, shared humanity & harrowing detail as a 9-year-old girl attempts to collect ingredients for a cake to honour Sadam Husseins birthday. Great central perf from Baneen Ahmad Nayyef

Theme of moral compromise beneath American Dream in All My Sons at Wyndham’s Theatre feels timely enough & there’s fine central performance from Bryan Cranston, but staging, including having cast emoting in front of huge bleeding’ metaphor, along with almost ambient mournful music, is distracting
