Tao of Glass: Phelim McDermott and Philip Glass play life in London's West End ✍️ Eleanor Knight bachtrack.com/review-tao-o...

🖼️🤔👓 After seeing @openspacer.bsky.social’s brilliant ‘Tao of Glass’ at Soho Place, I called it “a riveting tapestry of music, mystery & memory’. More enthusiasm is now available in my write-up for ArtMuseLondon here…

Review of the Week: Tao of Glass at Soho Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @openspacer.bsky.social's passion-project tribute to composer @philipglass.bsky.social is not for everyone, but its audacity and originality shine through, writes Nerve theatre critic @dorianlynskey.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/review-the...
