A warm hearted and witty show about an underrepresented section of society, albeit slightly unsure of its target audience.

A light-hearted medieval musical with a solid cast, occasionally brilliant comedy and some catchy songs, but sadly lacking the overall polish and wow-factor of Tim Rice’s later triumphs.

Pros: A skilled ensemble whose evident enjoyment is infectious. A great soundtrack featuring the great Gainsbourg. Cons: Cluttered staging and an auditorium that (on one of the warmest evenings of the year) was like being at the centre of the earth. Celimène drunk, throwing up in a bucket, Acaste and Clitandre hoofing coke off a studio desk, Éliante and Philinte sharing a tender moment on the breakfast TV couch. Yes, obviously, it’s Le Misanthrope, Molière’s satire on the 17th century French ...

A compelling exploration into male suicide which will leave you wanting to reach out to people you don’t even know.

A successful adaption of a great book that honours the story and hasn’t got bogged down with the glitz and glamour of the West End.

Pros: Imaginative, energetic and really entertaining. Cons: The performance is quite long and requires some serious stamina. The other night I had a funny dream. Accompanied by three other people, I was exploring the streets of Clapham Old Town, visiting estate agents, entering empty Italian cafes and interacting with some odd individuals. I had headed to Clapham Common to attend a performance of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream but, instead of the theatre’s address, I was told to wait ...

A promising performance from a stunning man in drag which was entirely spoiled by amplification problems.

If you want to laugh hysterically and be impressed by an original performance, this is the show for you.

While a stripped down version of Shakespeare may not satisfy the purists, I Know You Of Old is nevertheless a strong reimagining of a much performed play.

Well-choreographed and well-performed, this stunning evening is contemporary dance at its best.
