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.

There are zero regrets in sacrificing a sunny lunchtime for these amusing and refreshing short plays.

LineUp, Greenwich Theatre – Review
An excellent, relatively risk-free chance to get to know some new playwrights.
-
Wolf Hall/Bring Up The Bodies, Aldwych Theatre – Review
Either one of these dark and humorous Tudor dramas promises an evening of pure magnificence. Seeing both in the same day promises a truly unforgettable experience.

Bash: latterday plays, Trafalgar Studios – Review
Pros: Haunting and impacting with powerful and nuanced performances Cons: Maybe a little too dark; if you’re looking for a light evening of entertainment, Neil Labute is not your man. Actually three one-act plays presented in succession, Bash: latterday plays…

A neat, streamlined production with a strong cast makes for a very watchable play.

Fleabag, Soho Theatre – Review
Fleabag is a fresh and exciting piece of theatre. Expect to split your sides laughing, gasp at its fearlessness and dissolve into its honesty. It is must see new writing.

Writer, director and actress Laura Patricia Jones is a triple-threat and these plays are worth seeing.
