The Twilight Zone
Almeida Theatre, London
IF THE general festive mood is getting a bit too much, The Twilight Zone at the Almeida might just be the palette cleanser you’re looking for.
Drawing very directly on the CBS TV series produced by the charismatic Rod Serling, the Almeida’s production keeps all the kitschy glamour of the original series while successfully transferring the sci-fi weirdness to the stage.
Anne Washburn’s adaptation, directed with precision by Richard Jones, takes eight episodes of the TV show and weaves them together to create a spellbinding entertainment.
