The Collective Project, Camden People’s Theatre – Review
Like last year, this night of new writing offers fresh work in a fun format. Though not quite as special as previous incarnations, the night offers some great moments.
-
Raymondo, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A real page-turner, read with warmth and humour.
-
It’s a Wonderful Life, The Bridge House Theatre – Review
A wonderful holiday production to leave you filled with the milk of human kindness. Well worth the trip out to Penge West.

SIRO-A, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
A fun evening in the same vein as Stomp or the Blue Man Group, but with more technology.
-
Pathos, The Vaults – Review
An inventive and playful exploration of both the darker and lighter sides of love.
-
124 Fallout, Toynbee Studios – Review
A compelling topic that could’ve been explored more convincingly in a different format.

Unengaging and futile, this piece is not likely to satisfy gamers or non-gamers.
-
Talking/Making/Taking Part at Ovalhouse – Review
A rewarding two-day festival during which participants got involved in lively discussions, interactive installations and brilliant performances.
-
The Libertine Has Left The Building, Mimetic Festival – Review
An entertainingly intelligent and unexpectedly personal evening spent with a performer who steadfastly refuses to conform to anyone’s stereotype.
-

An incredible script moved effortlessly to the estate to create a charming and picturesque piece of drama that can be enjoyed by anyone.
