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.

Next Lesson, Pleasance Theatre – Review
Interesting, amusing, heart-breaking and well-written – this is a good selection of snapshots of contemporary LBGT characters.
-
Kathy Kirby: Icon/I Play For Me (Double Bill), White Bear Theatre – Review
Two concise and complementary plays which bring the 60s glamour and the shadows behind it into the spotlight.
-
Shooting with Light, New Diorama – Review
An intriguing telling of the careers of two prominent photojournalists, but lacking the spark of emotion.
-
Plaques and Tangles, Royal Court Theatre – review
This is an incredibly intense play; it left me stunned and thinking it over in my mind for the rest of the evening.
-
The Merchant of Vembley, Cockpit Theatre – Review
A great adaption of a classic, taking the discussion of anti-semitism and transposing it onto modern tensions between Muslim and Hindu communities in London.
-
Nobody’s Business, King’s Head Theatre – Review
Light-hearted and fun - If situational comedy and Alan Ayckbourn’s writing are your type of humour then this production will make you smile.
-
The First Man, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review
A well-executed and well-delivered production in a cosy and welcoming little venue.
-
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, CLF Art Café – Review
An innovative and theatrical presentation of a classic working-class tale that, while occasionally difficult to follow, was fun and engaging overall.
-
The Great Gatsby, Greenwich Theatre – Review
The stylish suits and dresses couldn't quite save this production, which fails to make Gatsby great and relies too much on quoting long passages as exposition.
-
She Called Me Mother, Stratford Circus Arts Centre – Review
A moving tale about life as a homeless woman, this poignant production will certainly speak to your humanity.
