Review: The Doctor Will See You Now, Lion & Unicorn Theatre
More a collection of comic ideas based around a hospital waiting room than a fully thought-out show. When it is subtle, it works. When it is less so, it all falls apart.
-
Review: A Foot is Not an Appropriate Prize for the Tombola, Pleasance Courtyard
Cosy crime invaded by apocalyptic sci-fi which starts off slow, but accelerates to a madcap finish.
-
Review: Wilder!, Etcetera Theatre
Bonnie & Clyde meet the Desperate Housewives in the funniest way possible.
-
Review: Club Mistero, Theatro Technis
A well-crafted whodunnit by a young, talented team
-
Review: Tea, Texts and Top of the Pops, Barons Court Theatre
Following the journey of loss and grief, two sisters navigate hurt, sadness and pain. With an excellent soundtrack, some script revisions would see this play thrive.
-
Review: Dear Michelle Kwan, theSpaceTriplex
A riotously funny dark comedy about the pressures of the hyper-competitive, hyper-feminine world of figure skating
-
Review: Creepy Boys: SLUGS, Summerhall
Nothing is ever really nothing in this chaotic, playful and bizarre production
-
Review: They’ve Stolen Mussolini, Bridewell Theatre
An absurd historical tale, told with style and potential for so much more
-
Review: Don’t Look at Me: A Modern Retelling of Medusa, Lion and Unicorn Theatre
A refashioning of the myth of Medusa and Perseus, who become enemies to lovers in a funny, witty romantic comedy
-
Review: A Curious Demise, The Hen and Chickens Theatre
It’s easy to admire the skill involved, but the gimmick feels half-baked.
