An Evening With Sylvester Stallone, The London Palladium – Review
A very entertaining evening – Sylvester Stallone is an intelligent, inspirational, creative talent with a lot to talk about. Who knew?
-
Cirque Du Soleil: Quidam, Royal Albert Hall – Review
If you are a seasoned Cirque goer then this may not be as impressive as other shows but for most this will be an evening which will leave you awe inspired.

Don Quijote, Camden People’s Theatre – Review
A visual feast of excitement and eccentricity: rough round the edges but on the whole it worked well and was totally in keeping with its subject matter.
-
Win Or Die: A woman’s odyssey through theatre, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
The idea of this show is great - showing women in theatre throughout history. However in practice it didn’t quite come across and I left wondering what the intended message was.
-
The Bald Prima Donna, Old Red Lion Theatre – Review
Utterly disconcerting theatre; you will leave in shock. The good thing is that the play so abstract that all interpretations are valid!
-
The Good Neighbour, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A wonderfully original Christmas adventure. Very well managed from the moment you step into the building. Leave your stresses at the door and just enjoy!
-
Toynbee: Fragments of Other Lives and Times, Toynbee Studios – Review
A brilliant promenade performance that celebrates Toynbee Hall and Studios; its stories, past and present, at every twist and turn.
-
Psychostasia, Old Cholmeley Boys’ Club – Review
The performance unfortunately relies heavily on two aspects that could do with improvement. The visuals are stunning but can’t quite make up for the rest. Interesting collaboration with lots of potential though.
-
The Players Lab, St. Clements Hospital – Review
A Shutter Island experience of immersive theatre, with an old mental hospital as the setting! Make sure to always stay in the front of the group (and top of the stairs) to catch every scene.

Our Glass House, Camden People’s Theatre – Review
This show will astound you. Whether it’s the immersive set, divine rhythmic ebbs and flow, the very truthful basis of the show or the raw shock of unfolding events.
