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: KS6: Small Forward, Barbican Pit
A refreshing angle on politics, totalitarianism, defiance, and exile from a company committed to the fight for freedom.
-
Review: Pig Heart Boy, Unicorn Theatre
An hilariously funny, intelligent and thought-provoking show that will have kids’ hearts and brains racing.
-
Review: Mrs President, Charing Cross Theatre
An interesting two-handed play, touching on the life of Mary Lincoln. Strong performances, but in the end somewhat confusing and unsatisfying.
-
Review: Put Out His Eyes, Lion & Unicorn Theatre
An ambitious concept that places two juxtaposing characters in a life-or-death situation in order to explore class and power dynamics.
-
Review: As Long As We Are Breathing, Arcola Theatre
A mindful, sensitive and emotional journey through one woman’s life, from a girl in hiding during the Holocaust, to a woman making spiritual discoveries.
-
Review: My Mother’s Funeral: The Show, The Yard Theatre
A well meaning production which examines the trauma of bereavement alongside the expensive practicalities of providing a funeral. Well meaning, but in need of more nuance.
-
Review: Tuesday, The Hope Theatre
A thriller which constantly shifts and challenges perceptions of whether a character is speaking the truth, either to the audience or themselves.
-
Review: Her Country, Hope Theatre
A sombre subject is thoughtfully addressed through engaging characters and visual interest.
-
Review: 1984, Omnibus Theatre
A performance that revitalises this classic story, making it feel both contemporary and all too possible.
-
Review: Brown Girl Noise, The Glitch
An energetic and moving account of four brown girls growing up in London. Infused with laughter, sadness, voice and dance, this play celebrates the community it represents and is in turn embraced back.
