-
The Ted Bundy Project, Shoreditch Town Hall – Review
A really interesting theatrical experience that shines a light on people’s morbid fascination with serial killers.
-
The Lonely Soldier Monologues, The Cockpit – Review
This is verbatim theatre at its most profound. Brave voices given power through the stage where the real world failed them. A chance to listen to people that need to be heard.
-
The Candidate, Theatre Delicatessen – Review
A smart, well-observed piece of immersive theatre that exposes the absurdity and shallowness of politics.
-
The Generation of Z: Apocalypse, Department W Mile End Road, Review
A classic zombie experience that does exactly what it says on the tin.
-
Beta Testing, Jackson’s Lane – Review
The juggling acts are great fun and awe inspiring, but long expositional sections counter the extraordinary physical skill.
-
Standby for Tape Back-Up, Shoreditch Town Hall – Review
A funny, perceptive study of the emotional frailty that lies inside us all if only we look closely enough.
-
A New Play for the General Election, Finborough Theatre – Review
Irrelevant and random
-
Golem, Trafalgar Studios – Review
An important piece of theatre that needs to be seen. It is fascinating and combines artistry and personality.
-
I Wish to Die Singing, Finborough Theatre – Review
This daring play calls much-needed attention to the Armenian Genocide of 1915, but lacks in comparison to many of the Finborough’s previous political productions.
-
Bridging the Void, Blue Elephant Theatre – Review
An immersive performance based upon the American Indian worship of the rising sun combining movement and video. A lack of plot was not helped by some significant technical difficulties.
