-
Momo, Greenwich Theatre – Review
This existential musical does not live up to its potential.
-
How To Avoid Making An Entrance Of Yourself, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A challenging and interesting idea courageously performed, if not to everyone’s taste.
-
A Cure for Ageing, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A thoughtful and boundary pushing contemplation on ageing, however this piece focuses very heavily on the heavier side of the story.
-
Lunchtime Fourplay, St James Theatre – Review
Four courses of theatrical goodness, totally filling, a lunchtime treat!
-
Naïve Dance Masterclass, Canada Water Culture Space – Review
Wildly ironic, slightly off the wall and completely unpredictable, this piece forces laughter and awe.
-
Then, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
An evening that will have you fondly reminiscing and maybe pondering about things yet to come. Sadly there are no more performances planned at present but this must surely be a temporary glitch.
-
Fairytales for Grown-ups Season 2, The Forge Camden – Review
Witty asides, audience interaction and plenty of comedy will keep you engaged, but perhaps not inspired.
-
An Awfully BIG Performance, Chickenshed Theatre – Review
A truly magnificent display of emotional love and physical talent underpins Chickenshed’s inspirational community work. Simply stunning.
-
Punchdrunk: The Drowned Man, Temple Studios – Review
This is a spectacular theatrical experience like no other. Go, go, go!
-
The Illumination: Scholars of the Last Torch, Luminere Bar – Review
A miasma of activity that cleverly weaves its way around an underground bar. Fully interactive, you can step in or out of the drama at your choosing. While this offers freedom, it also prevents full immersion.
