This hilarious and modern take on the poem by Ovid updates Greek and Roman myths to be funny, accessible and at times deeply moving.

A fusion of high fashion, absurd comedy and IBS struggles, Hot Mess is unpredictable, disgustingly glamorous and hilariously off the wall.

Review: Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain – The Best Bits, Apollo Theatre
Exactly what it says on the tin: family theatre that hurtles through UK history in 70 minutes, packed with poo jokes to keep everyone entertained.

A bold debut that is unpredictable and often entertaining.

Review: Spare Room, Hen and Chickens Theatre
It’s great to see a large ensemble at Camden Fringe, but at times that size detracts from what is really at the heart of this thought provoking play.
