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.

Madame Bovary, The Hope Theatre – Review
Forget your high school thoughts of Madame Bovary, and dive into a fresh look at Gustave Flaubert’s classic. Banal realism is turned on its head as the classic characters satirise the humdrum of daily life in this dark comedy.

Let The Right One In, Apollo Theatre – Review
A sensational gore fest of a play that is a game changer for how horror should be done on stage!
-
Buttons, The Space – Review
An admirable blend of puppetry and storytelling from two relaxed and likeable performers.
-
The Long Road South, Hope Theatre – Review
An admirable attempt to explore American racial politics that falls short.
-
Dead In The Water, Hen and Chickens Theatre – Review
A good show with some catchy songs, but needs some streamlining to make the plot easier to follow.
-
The Ring Cycle, The Scoop – Review
An outdoors production south of the river that outshines the West End, this transformation of Wagner’s well-known 19th Century opera will convert any theatre-phobe.
-
The Sequel, London Welsh Centre – Review
A great choice for a humorous night out even if it is lacking in its central plotline at times. Guaranteed to make you chuckle!
-
Happiness is a Cup of Tea, Hen and Chickens Theatre – Review
This heartfelt exploration of grief and personal identity has strong elements, but there is room to grow.
-
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Rockwell House – Review
A fresh portrayal of a classic play; great fun for everyone.
-
Dogfight, Southwark Playhouse – Review
A classic tale of young lives torn apart by a needless war with great songs to boot.
