Cabaret

The Pursuit of Now, Buta Festival of Azerbaijani Arts, Sadler’s Wells Theatre – Review

An entertaining evening but the intended showcase for Azerbaijani art seemed to get lost in a wave of virtuosity.

Drama

The Royale, Bush Theatre – Review

A truly powerful piece of storytelling with an exciting cast. Miss it and you miss something very special.

Dance

Carmina burana & Serenade, English National Opera – Review

This is about the most exuberant, vibrant, downright enjoyable classical performance you'll have seen for years.

Drama

The Heart of Things, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review

An unconvincing slice of family life with the emotional punch of a ropey sitcom.

Alternative

All the Things You Said You Never Said Before You Thought You Could Ever Say, Ovalhouse – Review

Contemporary dance, physical theatre and performance are brought together to explore unintentional miscommunication and its consequences.

Comedy

The Dead Shepherd, White Bear Theatre – Review

A gripping play that expertly blends fact and fiction.

Drama

Stevie, Hampstead Theatre Review

Endearing and witty but more like being a read a story in a lounge nicer than your own rather than…

Alternative

Boy in the Darkness, Blue Elephant Theatre – Review

Murphy is stunningly versatile in this performance, but the piece fails to fully grab the attention of the audience.

Alternative

Lovesong of the Electric Bear, The Hope Theatre – Review

A clever, exciting and surprising play. Unusual and experimental yet still accessible and fun to watch.

Drama

Shrapnel: 34 Fragments of a Massacre, Arcola Theatre – Review

A strong, provocative play which challenges your understanding and perception of war.
