In case it hasn’t been clear, I just returned from a theater theatre week in London.

Expect more fleshed-out thoughts on the shows in the coming weeks. But because so many peeps have asked for recommendations, I figured it might help to share my (uselessly subjective?) rankings.

Voilà:

1. A Little Life (Savoy)
2. Operation Mincemeat (Fortune)
3. The Motive and the Cue (National)
4. Guys & Dolls (Bridge)
5. The Pillowman (Duke of York’s)
6. The Crucible (Gielgud)
7. Dear England (National)
8. Aspects of Love (Lyric)
9. When Winston Went to War with the Wireless (Donmar)
10. Brokeback Mountain (Soho Place)
11. Crazy for You (Gillian Lynne)
12. Romeo and Juliet (Almeida)
13. The Choir of Man (Arts)
14. Dr Semmelweis (Harold Pinter)
