Everything Theatre Reviews, interviews and news for theatre lovers, London and beyond

A challenging production highlighting an issue that some people may be unaware of. Uncomfortable to watch in parts but worthwhile.

Crime novelist M. G. Scarsbrook digs through the glitz and glamour to explore the dark side of London's most popular tourist destinations.

Despite its powerful visuals and intriguing premise, this allegory of a pot plant nursery as a concentration camp fails to engage or provoke.

A good showcase for new talent but could do with more cohesion.

A melancholic and vivid representation of complex characters and situations. Visually and emotionally stunning, the performances were fantastic (Michael Edwards as Army official Khludov was my favourite).

Lush, lascivious and lamentable. Othello is a tale of passion and pessimism which Orangutan productions relishes to its full extent. A strong cast and intelligent direction revives this Shakespeare in a vivid way.

A delightful interpretation of Chaucer for all ages.

While the concept of the show is promising and some interesting topics are explored, the production failed to engage me.

A nostalgic treat on the doorstep of SW12.

Despite the disparity between the two pieces, overall a thought-provoking production with enough intelligent humour to make a heavy subject digestible.
