Drama
A staple for us and for many if you fancy a more traditional play. When we first started Everything Theatre it was specifically to review drama. We’ve branched out over the years, but it will always be a favourite of ours.
-
Review: The Greater Good Company, The Hope Theatre
An entertaining mystery drama presents a well-rounded and believable debate on morality, with ever-shifting viewpoints.
-
Review: Bloodsport: After Helen of Troy, Stratford East
A modernisation of Helen of Troy set in Essex, offering sharp ideas but unfocused writing and uneven impact.
-
Review: Still Life, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
Noël Coward’s Still Life has been given a new life
-
Review: Delusions and Grandeur, Zoo Playground
Karen Hall’s story is revelatory and revealing as she questions what her life is without her cello.
-
Review: Collateral Damage, theSpace @ Surgeons Hall
A gritty drama about a fractured family, and trying to cope with past trauma.
-
Review: Krapp’s Last Tape, The Cockpit
A triumph as an actor suffering with Alzheimer’s turns Beckett’s monologue into a profoundly moving meditation on memory and the ageing process.
-
Review: We Dance in Fire, Golden Goose Theatre
A potent and accomplished debut turns up the dial on our existential fears to great effect.
-
Review: A Dark Line Upstairs, ZOO Playground
A powerful and touching solo debut by Matilde Vigna.
-
Review: Halfway Home, theSpace on the Mile
This play about family ties and the plight of prisoners has some bright moments but struggles to say anything new in an already crowded field.
-
Review: Midnight in Nashville, The Glitch
A good country epic, but one that could use another verse.
