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: Maggots, Bush Theatre
Farah Najib’s unsettling drama is a portrait of housing failure, social paralysis and exemplary storytelling.
-
Review: The Tempest, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
Full of dangerous gambits and forays into farce, Tim Crouch's The Tempest is a daring exercise in meta-theatrical theory.
-
Review: Mates, Hen and Chickens Theatre
An intelligent exploration of the art of making theatre, highlighting a full range of genres. Presented alongside effective character drama and good entertainment along the way.
-
Review: Barbary Lion, The Drayton Arms
An interesting dystopian conversation dampened by its ambiguities.
-
Review: Mrs President, Charing Cross Theatre
A play which all too often feels like a stern lecture rather than a natural exploration of the characters: not even a superb performance by Keala Settle can save it.
-
Review: To Kill A Mockingbird, Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield
A remarkable adaptation with superb performances all round, giving this seminal novel new relevance for today's audiences.
-
Review: Dance Til You’re Dead, Hen and Chickens Theatre
A witty, smartly performed cautionary tale about the price of success. While its direction doesn’t embrace the darkness at the heart of its story, standout performances and a rambunctious soundtrack shine through.
-
Review: Safe Haven, Arcola Theatre
A play that depicts the historical events of Northern Iraq in 1991, but struggles to fully captivate its audience.
-
Review: The Silence That Follows, The Hope Theatre
An absorbing fantasy adventure that delights and entertains as it explores the power of music as well as the dangers of letting obsession get the better of you.

Review: A Grain of Sand حبّة رمل, Arcola Theatre
In this gripping 60-minute piece, it’s the voices of real children begging us to listen that leave their mark.
