The Murderettes, Phoenix Artist Club – Review
An impressive attempt to improvise a whodunnit in a great London establishment, with some outstanding performances.
-
The Ring, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Fuel set us up wonderfully for a memorable experience, but what they ultimately deliver is a surreal and intimate radio play rather than theatre.

iAm, Kensal House Community Rooms – Review
Immersive theatre that is entertaining, demanding and creepy in the best possible way.

Karaoke, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A unique experience that was far more performance art than traditional theatre - certainly not to everyone’s tastes.

Calm Down, Dear: ‘Women’s Hour’ and ‘Pretty Ugly’, Camden People’s Theatre – Review
Both productions are a bit rough around the edges but could be enjoyed by anyone who holds strong views on feminism.

One Thousand And One Nights, Rich Mix – Review
This relaxed and enchanting evening with a gifted storyteller is a great way to experience some of the most sumptuous folk tales ever produced.

Feral, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A truly talented company, with each member possessing multiple and impressive skills in their crafts. A multi-layered and memorable production by a company worth seeking out.
-
When We Embraced, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A lesson in the perils of talking to people, instead of with them. Unfortunately all this talk did not succeed in communicating truth, or offering insight.
-
Backstage in Biscuit Land, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A fantastic, hilarious and genuinely inspiring show that challenges the limits of theatre.
