Fresh and thoughtful multi-sensory production, designed for those with profound and multiple learning disabilities and their carers, that is just as magical as theatre should always be.

The toxic side effects of globalisation through the eyes of four employees of a multinational company.

An incredibly important story that deserves commending for being shared. Thought-provoking and heartfelt throughout.

Although provocative and daring in the 1970s, Dennis Potter’s work hasn’t worn particularly well over the years, but the cast save an otherwise mediocre play.

Delightful musical rom-com with an instantly loveable cast.

A short and sweet feel-good show with laugh out loud moments. Even though it is only an hour long, you will feel as though you really know the characters by the end.

A strong acting and vocal duo do their very best to lift up this camp and kitsch musical, to no avail.

Pros: Good intentions, and some strong performances. Cons: Misses its opportunity to harness an interesting subject.

Pros: An engaging and meticulously researched script, combined with superb performances, make for a genuinely harrowing story. Cons: Needless sound effects and some unwieldy dialogue diminish the overall power of the piece. To my shame, this was my first visit to the Jermyn Street Theatre. On the strength of this visit, it won’t be my last; the theatre is welcoming, comfortable and damned accessible by public transport. Interestingly, to get to the theatre’s toilets you actually have to go across the stage and through ...
