Review: When the cloud catches colours, Barbican Centre
A poignant verbatim piece about queer ageing, which captures the fragility of belonging and the enduring search for safety.

Review: Teatro La Plaza: Hamlet, Barbican Centre
Put aside traditional expectations of a production of Hamlet and be surprised, amused and very moved by this homage to the Shakespeare play which explores identity and creativity – created in conjunction with and performed by a cast of actors with Downs Syndrome.

Review: Snow White: The Sacrifice, Sadler’s Wells
Liv Lorent and her eponymous troop dominate the Easter program at Sadler's Wells East, with two retellings of Snow White aimed at different age groups. However, the adult version succumbs to its own poison apple.

Review: Ballet Lorent’s Snow White, Sadler’s Wells

Review: Holly Blakey: A Wound with Teeth & Phantom, Southbank Centre

Review: Outsider, Sadler’s Wells
Don’t we all want to regress evolutionarily and return to the trees? Ok just me? Well, Dance Reflections does just that with Rachid Ouramdane and the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève’s latest highline extravaganza.

Review: Seven Drunken Nights: The Story of the Dubliners, Dominion Theatre
This celebration of folk band The Dubliners features enjoyable live performances of their music, but fails to go beneath the surface of one of Ireland’s most iconic acts.

Interview: When In Brighton, Do The Brighton Fringe
Brighton Fringe Interviews: Tristan Wolfe As well as writing and directing his own Brighton Fringe show, Nick Myles somehow found the time to grab six of his fellow writers to find out more about their shows. You can find details of all the others here. Tristan Wolfe’s Break: Out is more than just a comedy show. It’s about the power of breaking through, breaking down, and ultimately, breaking out. Whether you’re queer, questioning, or simply human, these stories from the brink will resonate, inspire, and—hopefully—make you laugh at the absurdity of it all. Break: Out plays at Laughing Horse @ The Walrus (Tusk Club) on 4, 11, 18, 25 May & 1 Jun. Further information and tickets available here. Show in a nutshell? A queer comedy about survival, stage fright, and finding my voice after nearly dying. What was your inspiration? Wanting to turn trauma into something that says: anything’s possible, talk about it, don’t hide. Why Brighton Fringe? I live in Brighton! Who do you think your show will appeal to? Queer people, anxious creatives, comedy fans, and anyone who’s nearly fallen apart. Do you plan to take the show elsehwhere after Brighton? Rik Mayall Comedy Festival, Buxton Fringe, Manchester Fringe, Camden…
