Network of Independent Critics co-founder Laura Kressly discusses the rise of the independent theatre critic and the consequences of the new criticism economy.

Mental health and poverty are the cause of this couple’s breakdown. A conceptually interesting play, but slightly underdeveloped and not as powerful as it could be.

As their new show opens at Soho Theatre, Made In China's Tim Cowbury and Jess Latowicki talk to Laura Kressly.

The performance and production skills are evident, but it can be difficult to connect to the material if you don’t relate to the subject matter or to the way it's delivered.

A slow and confusing first half. The concept, though visually appealing, fails to enhance the audience's experience of this well-known play. 

An innovative approach to explore the process of human rights violations, which unfortunately doesn’t quite carry through to the end.

This show has great intentions and a welcoming atmosphere, but became preachy and had an anti-climactic end.

The juggling acts are great fun and awe inspiring, but long expositional sections counter the extraordinary physical skill.

This performance has a unique concept, but could have been executed more effectively.

An excellent tale energetically performed by a great cast, but this re-written version of Strindberg’s 1888 play doesn’t always ring true to present day.
