A ninety minute celebration of the music and life of jazz icon Fats Waller.

Pros: An alternative night out, in a house that’s a real treat for Grand Designs fantasists Cons: Far too long to support the story line presented I have never attended an immersive theatre show that lasted much longer than an hour. I believe there is a reason for this; a time limit creates stakes. Unfortunately, Suicide at Vine House clocks in at over two and a half hours and by the end of the show my enthusiasm was waning. Furnished with an address and ...

Pros: Gorgeous visuals, fascinating live score, welcoming atmosphere Cons: Time constraints made some episodes of the story hard to follow Tucked right at the top of Portobello Road under the Westway flyover, Acklam Village Market isn’t the easiest place to find if you’ve not been there before.

A laugh-out-loud one-man show that combines excellent execution with some highly imaginative and partly obscure content.

Flew the Coop has wings that, whilst slightly clipped, are strong enough to make it fly. (Unlike the chickens that weren't harmed during the making of this play.)

Where do we see ourselves a year from now? RedBellyBlack investigate the matter in a thought-provoking but scrappy verbatim piece.

Pros: A meticulously choreographed piece of art. Excellently executed and magically mesmerising. Cons: On paper, perhaps not everybody’s cup of tea. Approach with an open mind. Thom Monckton and Gemma Tweedie created Only Bones in an empty aircraft hangar in Paris. The handout given to each audience member describes a bizarre creative environment; freezing cold and with constant harassment from goats. One of the pleasures of the piece is that it is clearly a creation born from painstaking care, love, and ...

Despite some logistical hiccups, this is a fun and engaging show that’ll keep you guessing to the very end.
