A wonderful folk tale that is told with thoughtfulness through dance. Unfortunately, the show doesn't pace the narrative well enough to earn the pathos that should be integral to the story.

Uncomfortable, intellectually provocative theatre that, whether you enjoy it or not, has thoroughly generous and positive intentions.

Cabaret duo Bourgeois & Maurice talk celebrating ten years of collaboration with 'Style Over Substance - A 10-Year Retro-Speculative'.

An enjoyable adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s later, well-loved plays. Thoughtful stylisation and creative choices make the play magical at times, but it was just a little bit rough around the edges.

Pros: Adorable, hilarious characters in a fun and vibrant roller-diner setting (minus roller-skates). Funny moments are in abundance and the cast are superb. Cons: The politics behind the show are very blatant, but its comment is ambiguous. Roller Diner, the winner of the Soho Theatre’s prestigious Verity Bargate Award for new writing, is set in Eddie Costello’s authentic American diner… in Birmingham. It is a hub of sticky ketchup and family spats (but not customers, as it would seem). When ...

Playwright Charlotte Josephine talks tackling difficult questions in 'BLUSH' at Soho Theatre.

An uninhibited, non-judgmental look into the world of chemsex crammed with human experience and empathy, but occasionally loses pace through the frequency of the anecdotes.

Some sparkling performances from the cast, but they are ultimately let down by unimaginative staging that confuses what era the play is set in and compromises the atmosphere.

It’s Armagh, 1981, and the Carney family, abundant with elders, children, and a goose, are preparing for the annual harvest in a time rife with uncertainty. Seamus Carney’s body is found in a bog, with a bullet in his head, which leads his family down a slippery slope, whether they are aware of it or not, to a potential ...

A highly worth seeing new musical. Multi-sensory, thoughtful and exquisite performances by the cast and orchestra.
