Review: 7 Magnificent Egos, Ye Olde Rose and Crown
Half biopic and half pantomime, parts of this play are sublime but others seem oddly out of place.
-
Review: Fanny, Kings Head Theatre
A caper-filled and pun-fuelled tale of a family scrap about which Mendelssohn sibling should take top honours in the classical music world
-
Review: Bog Witch, Soho Theatre, Walthamstow
Bryony Kimmings' latest stunning autobiographical tale is filled with both captivating delights and heartbreaking candour.
-
Review: Private Lives, Rose Theatre Kingston
This frothy, misguided Private Lives drains Coward of his bite, swaps elegance for farce, and ultimately reduces a great play to flat, joyless bickering.
-
Review: Boy Band, The Glitch
Sixty minutes of fun, giggles and smiles, as engaging thirty-somethings take the proverbial out of boy bands
-
Review: The Immortalitea Party, The Others
A riot of puns, puppets, and playful absurdity, this wonderfully chaotic celebration of death, art, and terrible jokes is unpredictable, and irresistibly fun, capturing everything that makes fringe theatre so alive.
-
Review: Magic Alan, Golden Goose Theatre
The play’s funniest moments come from how bizarre the plot becomes
-
Review: Willy Witches, Bread and Roses Theatre
A witty, outrageous comedy that uncovers the lost history of the English Witch Trials. It guarantees a good laugh and plenty of penis jokes.
-
Review: Troilus and Cressida, Shakespeare’s Globe
One of Shakespeare’s least performed plays reimagined for contemporary audiences in a raunchy, comedic light. Mythic heroes become celebrity figures for an examination of toxic masculinity, ego and power.

Review: Petit Léopard, Drayton Arms Theatre
A wonderful performance can’t quite cover up a disjointed script, leaving the show a collection of parts rather than a whole.
