Off West End
Much like fringe theatre, trying to define what Off-WestEnd venue really means is a debate that would take us long into the night. So for our own sanity, we define it as those venues that are slightly bigger than the fringe venues (so roughly 100+ seats), but not the big West End or similar venues that form part of the Society of London Theatre (SOLT). Like fringe venues, Off-WestEnd are eligible for consideration for awards via the Fringe Theatre Awards.

Time of my Life, Jack Studio Theatre – Review
A good production with plenty of wit, although the repetitiveness makes it lose some of its charm.
-
Stench, Conway Hall – Review
Sparky cast had to work hard to compensate for less than ideal setting, and unpolished script.
-
Closer, Udderbelly – Review
Ingenious and astonishing circus performances, threaded together with humour and a theme of fraternity.

Gatsby, Union Theatre – Review
This production does miss the mark of what fans would love to see, but the musical style does have a lot to offer the era. In the places this is fully realised, Gatsby provides glimpses of magic.
