-
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.
-
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.
