Reductive in its assessment of post-Brexit Britain, and complacent in the assumptions it makes about its audience. Great music and energetic dancing can’t redeem a misguided concept.

Circus rebels without a cause strut, preen and pounce on each other in this anarchic show. Exhilarating to watch, but the pace is uneven, and they seemed to lose the audience at times.

A sophisticated piece of psychological dance theatre performed with real excellence.

Hugely entertaining and superbly performed, this piece thoughtfully and poetically translates universal themes into the visual language of contemporary circus.

Pros: Great songs, smart jokes, no fillers Cons: It’s only on for three days Thirsty! is Tori Scott’s London debut and she makes quite an entrance. Already a sellout at go-to cabaret venue Joe’s Pub in New York, I’m sure it won’t be long until she’s selling out in London.

Intriguing and watchable choreography served these talented emerging dancers well, but their professionalism was diminished slightly by the college atmosphere.

Superb design and movement direction support a tight and powerful contemporary production of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy.
