Starring James Franco, Camden People’s Theatre – Review
If you enjoy new and unusual theatre this will be right up your street, but it is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea!
-
Major Tom, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A lovely production that will put a big smile on your face. Manages to entertain you while talking about deeply political topics.
-
The Boy Who Cried, Hope Theatre – Review
A paranormal mystery with some 'bite'!
-
Medea, Riverside Studios – Review
An epic, dramatic ancient tale of the world’s most passionate woman performed with a bit too much passion and drama.
-
I Wish I Was Lonely, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A theatre workshop rather than a theatre performance. This show offers what feels like a one-sided opinion on the very interesting debate about the first world’s reliance on their mobile phones.
-
Yada Yada K, The Camden Head – Review
This is witty comedy woven out of thin air that seems as effortless as it is hilarious.
-
Karaoke, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
For me this was a very poor show but I would be very interested to know how other audience members found the experience, if anyone would like to post comments below and provide further enlightenment.

Mouth Open, Story Jump Out, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Better than any classroom, this show is fun and interactive, and teaches kids without them even knowing.
-
Our Big Land, Ovalhouse – Review
A slick and professional production that could have been a bit more edgy and in-depth with its storytelling, given the fairly unusual theme.
-
A Conversation With John Travolta, Theatre Royal Drury Lane – Review
It is overwhelming when your cinematic heroes are as wonderful and great as you expect them to be. An evening to always remember.
