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: Three Men in a Boat, Rose Theatre
Funny, energetic and winningly performed, this busy adaptation loses its way whenever it reaches for insights beyond Jerome K. Jerome’s timeless original.
-
Review: Spontaneous Meets are not for the Weak, The Hope Theatre
Rather too clunky and awkward in the wrong way to fully capture the attention, so instead it just marauders along from start to finish
-
Review: King Lear, Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
A compelling, stunning production of Shakespeare's most uncompromising tragedy, with impeccable performances throughout, especially from the hugely impressive Ian McDiarmid in the title role.
-
Review: Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky, Southwark Playhouse
Ordinary lives, fraught choices and the quiet tragedy of wanting more in a city whose narrow confines haven’t shifted in a hundred years.
-
Review: Darkling, Bush Theatre
Darkling is an intense and incredibly important act of remembrance with a few teething problems.
-
Review: BRILLIANT BRITISH: Lingering Loves, Crazy Coqs
Amid saxophones and Art Deco glamour, a trio of evocative, love-laden tales unfolds, leaving a gentle reminder of the voices yet to join the chorus.
-
Review: Night City, Southwark Playhouse
A physical and darkly cinematic show about London and the largely hidden workforce that keeps it going.
-
Review: Talking People, Bush Theatre
An original, unpredictable and gripping piece of theatre.
-
Review: The Greater Good Company, The Hope Theatre
An entertaining mystery drama presents a well-rounded and believable debate on morality, with ever-shifting viewpoints.
-
Review: Bloodsport: After Helen of Troy, Stratford East
A modernisation of Helen of Troy set in Essex, offering sharp ideas but unfocused writing and uneven impact.
