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.

Valley of Song: A Musical Romance, Finborough Theatre – Review
A very well performed, charming revival for the WW1 centenary that feels undeveloped.
-
Cuckoo, Unicorn Theatre – Review
No arguments that teenage girl violence needs writing about; sadly this show misses the mark.
-
A Question of Consent, The Rag Factory – Review
This is a very personal story and there is more work to be done before it communicates meaningfully with an audience.
-
Only Our Own, Arts Theatre – Review
An enjoyable new production that will surely raise many emotions. If the pace were to pick up a bit it may make waves once it reaches the Irish shores.
-
Bloodshot, St James Theatre (Studio) – Review
A one-man tour-de–force thriller that reminds us what’s great about live theatre.
-
Women of Twilight, White Bear Theatre – Review
Women of Twilight is a hard hitting play which had me gripped from the very beginning and on the edge of my seat as the drama unfolded.
-
Bombshells, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review
A great show consisting of larger than life characters that will have you in stitches and hanging on every word. If this is a sample of young British theatrical talent then we are in for some treats ahead.
-
Win Or Die: A woman’s odyssey through theatre, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
The idea of this show is great - showing women in theatre throughout history. However in practice it didn’t quite come across and I left wondering what the intended message was.
-
The Seagull, White Bear Theatre – Review
The acting approach used in this production makes for high quality and honest performances, and also works to further express the chief concerns of the play.

The Bald Prima Donna, Old Red Lion Theatre – Review
Utterly disconcerting theatre; you will leave in shock. The good thing is that the play so abstract that all interpretations are valid!
