A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Waterloo East Theatre – Review
A good production that is easy to follow and laugh along with. It’s in need of tidying up in places, but there are good performances from most of the cast.
Read More »Waking Beauty, Ovalhouse – Review
Pros: At last a fairy tale to promote LGBTQ equality. Cons: Don’t expect elaborate set and costumes, but focus on the acting. Oval must be one of the cutest Underground stations in London. Coming up the escalator I was welcomed by classical music, pot plants and even a little shelf unit for the book exchange. A white board with the ‘thought of the day’ reminded me that every great action starts with a great dream and set the mood for ...

A dull and pointless evening.
Read More »American Idiot, Arts Theatre – Review
From air guitars to actual guitars, American Idiot is a musical just different enough to appeal to a whole new audience of theatre goers.
Read More »The Stripper, St James Theatre – Review

Pros: Brilliant sound quality and excellent execution. I’d definitely watch this show again. Cons: In the intimacy of a 70-seat studio theatre, I was easily distracted by the obnoxious behaviour of a fellow spectator. Almost every night since 1994, the Jermyn Street Theatre has been welcoming around 70 people into an intimate space once used as a changing room by the staff of an adjacent restaurant. Listed on Google as a ‘tiny fringe theatre for plays & musicals’, this venue ...
Read More »Cargo, Arcola Theatre – Review
Pros: A tense, thought-provoking story with strong, dedicated actors and a neatly crafted design. Cons: The studio is a small, claustrophobic space, which might unnerve some. Occasionally, the timeliness of a production not only has an effect on the play, but also on the audience; its content hits close to reality, making us stop and think. Tess Berry-Hart’s bold new drama Cargo, playing at the Arcola Theatre, does just that. Cargo is an 80-minute thriller, with no interval, presenting a portrait of ...
