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.

Puffball, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A well-intentioned and charming performance but fails to develop into a fully satisfying show in its current shape.
-
Hedda, Sutton House – Review
This skillful adaption of Ibsen’s masterpiece provides a sumptuous night out in one of London’s top heritage houses. Hedda’s private anguish is portrayed though an exquisite use of film, photography, the digital space and live theatre.
-
Shame, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A thought-provoking and visually stimulating performance inspired by the feeling of shame.
-
A Tale From The Bedsit, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A warm-hearted story about learning how to stand on your own two feet. With delicious biscuits.
-
(Merely) Romeo & Juliet, The Cockpit Theatre – Review
It is nice to see a new approach to Shakespeare, but this production slightly misses the mark.
-
Jane Eyre, Rosemary Branch Theatre – Review
The closest thing to reading the novel yourself, this is an intelligent and faithful adaptation which could become a classic in its own right.
-
The Gut Girls, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre – Review
A play that puts the progress of women’s rights into perspective.
-
The Eradication of Schizophrenia in Western Lapland, Shoreditch Town Hall – Review
This performance is a boxless 3D jigsaw puzzle where an errant 3 year old has swallowed pieces at random. It revels in confusing you ,which is stimulating, but also aggravating at times due to a lack of enforced context.
-
Punchdrunk: The Drowned Man, Temple Studios – Review
This is a spectacular theatrical experience like no other. Go, go, go!
-
The Illumination: Scholars of the Last Torch, Luminere Bar – Review
A miasma of activity that cleverly weaves its way around an underground bar. Fully interactive, you can step in or out of the drama at your choosing. While this offers freedom, it also prevents full immersion.
