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.
-
Blue Remembered Hills, New Diorama Theatre – Review
Dark, but powerfully performed.
-
Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus, Lion and Unicorn Theatre – Review
An extremely ambitious and creative production which doesn’t quite hit the spot. Some great horror moments and even better dramatic scenes, but unfortunately these are few and far between.
-
Tristram Shandy: Gentleman, Tabard Theatre – Review
A gutsy adaptation, brimming with bawdy humour and rich satire.
-
The Dumb Waiter, Matthews Yard – Review
The play was good, with strong acting and some very funny moments. However the venue let the overall production down.
-
Poilu and Tommy, The Courtyard Theatre – Review
Less is sometimes more, as this overly ambitious and highbrow performance demonstrates.
-
Amateur Girl, St James Studio – Review
An excellent performance from Speed ensures the audience remains focused on Julie and her heart-wrenching story. For those who enjoy a more humorous production, this may not be for you.
-
Fucking Outside the Box, VAULT Festival, Waterloo Tunnels – Review
Polished and well-crafted, this show is completely focused on a 17-year-old’s sexual experiences so will only interest people who engage with the character and her message.
-
The Final Revelation of Sherlock Holmes, Pleasance Theatre – Review
Strapped for cash and remembering the good old cases, The Final Revelation is a playful adaptation of England’s most famous detective duo.
-
A Wedding Story, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A richly rewarding show about filial duty, personal relationships, and the ties that bind us together.
-
Ballad of the Burning Star, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Cutting-edge experimental theatre that is quite simply a delight to watch. Tremendously meaningful yet light-hearted. Bravo!
