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.

1984, Playhouse Theatre – Review
A strong group of actors, fantastic medley of light, sound, video and the set itself make for an intriguing and unforgettable experience.
-
The Pyramid Texts, Soho Theatre – Review
An intensely emotional evening. Prepare to explore fear, regret, success, failure and familial relationships. It’s exhausting but brilliant.
-
Toilet Party, The Courtyard – Review
Great group of actors explore identity and destiny in a nicely unpretentious venue, but the supernatural script doesn’t wash.
-
Henry V, The Tramshed Theatre – Review
A wonderful, high energy and delightfully easy to understand re-telling of a Shakespearean classic.
-
The Picture of Dorian Gray, St James Studio – Review
Dorian’s story can teach us all a thing or two about the cult of youth.
-
Reality, Ovalhouse – Review
An interesting exploration of the relationship between exploitation and entertainment in reality TV. The ideas are compelling and the acting is strong, but play would benefit from tighter structure and plot.
-
64 Squares, New Diorama Theatre – Review
An ingenious, joyful and inventive piece of physical theatre that brings the end of the jazz era to life through beautiful performances, clever use of percussion, and play with light and shadow.
-
Oresteia, Almeida – Review
A marathon performance of a bloody saga with very impressive acting.
-
A Doll’s House, The Space – Review
Ibsen’s tale of domestic repression may well have been daring in 1879, but feels more like a dusty museum piece now.
-
Dirty Special Thing, Platform Theatre – Review
This engaging production is a great reflection of Generation Arts’s commitment to fostering the talent of marginalised aspiring actors.
