Death, love and DNA are the subjects of this touching, sometimes funny play, which combines acting, live cello music based on DNA code, and beautiful animation of cells dividing before your eyes.

A distinctive, absurdist play which provides fresh insight into the plight of global migrants. However, the lack of tightness and deftness compromises the comedy and emotion of what is quite a touching story.

Some good moments, but lacked consistency. A brave production.

The perfect opportunity for journeying back to the theatre world of the 1930s. Hysterics ensured with these two saucy ladies.

Some excellent talent on show; the second piece is very funny but the first is mismatched and misjudged.

A witty, refreshing production on the media’s emphasis on sensation over truth that beautifully combines acting with live music, movement and puppetry.

Belying the show’s title, ‘Half a Person’ would appeal to not only Smiths fans, but also those not so familiar with their music.

Visceral, angry monologues express strong points of view about money in the art world. Both plays are heartfelt and well-acted, but corner themselves in extremes.

A funny show with great acting and comic timing. Deals with coming to terms with ageing without sentimentality.

This is a play about the men behind the curtain. It gives an alternative, and deeply disturbing theory on events that have shaken American politics since the 60s. A must if you’re a fan of conspiracy theories, and the secret games of the powerful.
