Once you have accessed the database, select 'Advanced Search' and 'News'. Advanced Search provides options to work with for which Date range and Source can often be the most helpful. Source requires you to begin typing and then the database will suggest sources. By typing Times you will be led to Times (London). You may not pick a specific source, but you will need to limit the Date range. Another option on the advanced search screen is to use separate fields to search for the title of a play along with 'theatre review'.
