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.

Innovative moments of experiential style theatre but the experience overall somehow leaves you wanting.

A show where the future of English Opera is clear. A well-produced evening with talented singers but there were a few niggles felt by yours truly.

Mugs Arrows, Old Red Lion Theatre – Review
This is writing that does not let itself be confined by genre and has fantastic performances. However, the shifts in style, whilst keeping you on your toes, would not be to everyone’s liking.
