Flâneurs, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Simultaneously charming and sinister, allowing the audience to reflect upon the reality of the world in which we live.
-
It’s OK, It’s Only Temporary, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A fun yet sorrowful piece of experimental theatre, inventively performed and amusing overall. An excellent add-on to the preceding, longer show Flâneurs.
-
Put Your Sweet Hand In Mine, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A playful and intimate piece of experimental theatre that involves the audience in reflecting on their innermost thoughts about love.
-
No Such Thing, New Diorama Theatre – Review
Perhaps those more into absurdist theatre would enjoy these shorts more, but for us it just didn't work.
-
Sun, St Leonard’s Church – Review
This is a well put together production from the writing to the direction to the performances, that has positioned itself to appeal to a very specific taste in theatre and art.
-
Matryoshka’s Journey, Baron’s Court Theatre – Review
A worthy piece of experimental theatre, inventively directed and amusing overall, but slightly let down by some difficult changeovers and occasional rushed acting.
-
Joan Collins: One Night with Joan, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
Fans of Joan Collins will leave the theatre even more in love with her than they were before, whilst those being introduced to her for the first time will find her attitude refreshing and down to earth.
-
Half A Person: My Life As Told By The Smiths, Kings Head Theatre – Review
Belying the show’s title, ‘Half a Person’ would appeal to not only Smiths fans, but also those not so familiar with their music.
-
Metamorphosing, Central Saint Martins – Review
A good R&D performance which could make for a promising finished piece.
-
RETOLD: A Fairytale Festival… without the ‘happily ever after’, The Space – Review
While the concept of the show is promising and some interesting topics are explored, the production failed to engage me.
