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.

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.
