A solid production debut – with some great strengths, and a few weaknesses. Three Peas have potential.

From that sweet packet rustling in your ear, to the audible conversation a few rows back; at what point does inconsiderate behaviour progress from being slightly annoying to being so disruptive that it ruins a performance and, asks Lily Middleton, what can you do about it?

Fragen Theatre Company’s brave attempt at a new Greek tragedy is a mixed bag. Although sometimes a bit slow, there are moments of visceral brilliance.

A haunting, expressive performance, but it probably appeals mostly to specialist audiences.

All very likeable, but unfortunately lacking conviction. 

A gripping tale of obsession and devotion gone too far, with an atmosphere and storyline which certainly did ‘thrill me.’

A production whose apparent simplicity masks highly complex, well thought out ideas that slowly unfold into an honest and open account of what it is like to grieve.

An engaging new kid on the block that has the potential to contend with the heavyweight musicals of the West End.

Clever, pacey and fluid. We are carried along the plot so smoothly that we lose a sense of our own time and space.  

A badly organised play with an unapologetically under-rehearsed leading man. Could have been a good piece of high camp theatre but ended up more like a cheesy backwater panto.
