Drama

Dorian Gray, King’s Head Theatre – Review
Pros: An almost uniformly strong cast carries the production with great enthusiasm. Plus there are good songs and music, and innovative audience interaction. Cons: A lacklustre performance from the title role lets down an otherwise excellent show. You can tell…

Playmakers Festival 2015, Tabard Theatre – Review
Two new pieces of varying quality open this festival that champions the new and the different.

The Great Gatsby, The Lord Stanley – Review
No thrills, no spills. A jazz-era take on a great American classic that left us feeling cold.

Vernon God Little, The Space – Review
An enjoyable show which makes excellent use of an intimate venue.

Found, The Hope Theatre – Review
An entertaining and engaging play, which will keep you guessing until the end.

Creditors, Jack Studio Theatre – Review
An excellent tale energetically performed by a great cast, but this re-written version of Strindberg’s 1888 play doesn’t always ring true to present day.

Hiraeth, Soho Theatre – Review
A very pacey and amusing hour well spent and a corking Welsh Cake provided at the end.

These Trees Are Made of Blood, Southwark Playhouse – Review
A powerful study of right-wing politics in South America, told with originality and compassion.
-
The Royale, Bush Theatre – Review
A truly powerful piece of storytelling with an exciting cast. Miss it and you miss something very special.

The Heart of Things, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review
An unconvincing slice of family life with the emotional punch of a ropey sitcom.
