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: Drifting, Southwark Playhouse
Strong female performances and atmospheric staging stand out, although the script’s vagueness can leave much for the audience to interpret.
-
Review: Taniko, Theatro Technis
Voilà! Festival ships over a tale of sisterhood, sacrifice and gentrification, in the shifting patter of Greek from Athens to London. The social drama should translate fairly easily, considering the common ground and universal themes.
-
Review: Continuity, Cockpit Theatre
An unbridled dystopian drama, full of ideas but lacking plausibility and emotional truth.
-
Review: You, Seven Dials Playhouse
A shattering exploration of forced adoption across decades and generations. With minimal staging and maximum emotional force, this intimate two-hander captures the grief, rage, and longing of parent and child torn apart by circumstance.
-
Review: Starfish, Bread and Roses Theatre
A thought-provoking and elegantly written drama about homelessness, morality, and compassion.
-
Review: Old Fat F**k Up, Riverside Studios
A deeply complex and revealing show that hides nothing
-
Review: After Sunday, The Bush Theatre
An important piece of writing marred by heavy-handed direction
-
Review: Barrier(s), Camden People’s Theatre
A movingly human, enlightening production, examining the difficulties encountered by a deaf and a hearing gay couple.
-
Review: Poor Shirley Must Make Her Escape, Union Theatre
An inventive and thoughtful take on a well-worn journey, with standout performances, original writing and thoughtful design.
-
Review: Where Judas Lost His Boots… And Other Words, The Space
A relatable narrative about immigration and longing that finds the best words to use in every available language.
