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.
-
The Dog Beneath the Skin, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review
This revival of a 1935 play can be better appreciated for its historical value, rather than its appeal to modern tastes.
-
Kindertransport, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch – Review
Beautiful and poignant production of a timely play about the heartbreaking experience of those children who came to Britain fleeing Nazi Germany leaving their parents and roots behind.
-
Glass Roots, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
Interesting questions raised about bullying and racism in this restaurant setting, but the actions were slightly repetitive and nothing is really resolved.
-
After The Ball, Upstairs at The Gatehouse – Review
Although Ian Grant aims to create a play around the themes of politics, women and war, the result resembles more a confusing period drama as seen from the eyes of his male protagonist.
-
Stuffed, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre – Review
We laughed, we cried, we loved it.
-
Hilda and Virginia, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review
Both plays are sharply observed and well written but thank god for St. Hilda who lightened an otherwise sombre mood.
-
Stardust, The Vaults – Review
An immensely moving production that addresses the topic of the narcotics trade with honesty, minus the usual side of false glamour.
-
The Quantum Physics of My Heart, The Vaults – Review
A one-woman comedy show that aims at presenting love as a chemical reaction. Propelled by the performer's charisma, it requires more polishing to make a lasting impression.
-
Dead and Breathing, The Albany – Review
A timely and hilarious play about death and morality that will pull at your heart strings.
-
Close Up, New Diorama Theatre – Review
A play that has some potential but is still unsure of what direction it wants to take.
