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.
-
Review: Birth Stories, The Courtyard Theatre
A collection of powerful and emotive stories delivered in nine monologues, Birth Stories contributes to the important history of how people come to be.
-
Review: Sick Dog, Etcetera Theatre
A thoughtful two-hander exploring loneliness, AI and blurred human–robot boundaries, anchored by compelling performances and an intriguing premise.
-
Review: Retardant, Libra Theatre Café
A sincere one-man show exploring identity and blurred reality, with a sensitive performance and strong soundtrack. Heavy themes land well, and fit naturally within the Camden Fringe.
-
Review: A View From The Bridge, Brighton Open Air Theatre (BOAT)
Miller’s tragedy gains fresh power outdoors, with confident direction, a magnetic Eddie and a chorus-driven tension that thrives in Brighton’s exposed, atmospheric setting.
-
Review: A Woman’s Truth, SPID Theatre
A podcast-recording framing device gives way to a taut, nuanced drama about young women’s naive convictions colliding with the harsh realities of misogyny and violence.
-
Review: Bathroom, Etcetera Theatre
A domestic drama performed in Mandarin that focuses on the breakdown between a couple whilst commenting on larger themes of racism, migration and cultural assimilation.
-
Review: Spare Room, Drayton Arms Theatre
A year on from its Camden Fringe debut, Spare Room is now a much tidier affair that allows it to better focus on its themes of toxic masculinity, consent and complicity.
-
Review: Age, Riverside Studios
A gripping depiction of naivete, curiosity and consequences – travelling into maturity
-
Review: Cleansed, Almeida Theatre
Frecknall carefully threads the hope into Kane’s harrowing fever dream.
-
Review: The Importance of Being Oscar, Park Theatre
A scholarly, restrained portrait of one of our greatest literary figures that, appropriately perhaps, feels overly earnest.
