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.
-
Unstable Table – A Double Bill, Blue Elephant Theatre – Review
This is an evening of discovery, of learning what is on the minds of playwrights and in the pipeline for performance.
-
Spine, Soho Theatre – Review
An enchanting and emotional production admirably performed by a very talented actor.
-
The Tempest, Waterloo East Theatre – Review
A modern and interesting interpretation of a classic tale if overly ambitious at times. I would have been happy to see the full version rather than the abridged.
-
Our Town, Almeida Theatre – Review
This timeless play has the powerful homespun wisdom of a classic American morality tale.
-
Comedians, Chelsea Theatre – Review
Brutal, almost dehumanising production that raises more questions about comedy than it is able to answer.
-
How Nigeria Became: A Story and a Spear That Didn’t Work, Unicorn Theatre – Review
A wonderfully performed, colourful family show full of laughter set in historical Nigeria.
-
MilkMilkLemonade, Ovalhouse Theatre – Review
An absurd, comic and touching play about gender and sexuality set in a dusty Midwestern town with plenty of hay and chickens to match.
-
Das Ding, New Diorama Theatre – Review
A compelling basis for a story, sadly this globetrotting play is a little half-baked and a lot preachy.
-
The Infidel, Theatre Royal Stratford East – Review
Yes, a few tasteless jokes, but the lively and cleverly written musical numbers were really enjoyable. Overall an entertaining stage adaptation with some captivating performances throughout.
-
The Trials of Oscar Wilde, Trafalgar Studios – Review
An important and educational piece. It somewhat lacked the panache expected for the stage.
