Review: CATS, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre
A visually new version of Cats that maintains the original’s spirit and tone.

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: She Stoops to Conquer, Boston Manor Park
A beautiful setting and a creative team that understand the charm and silliness of Goldsmith’s classic make for a good evening.
-
Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Broadstairs Bandstand
Come for the magic of open-air theatre and stay for the brilliantly styled-out mischief of wild faeries, lovers and work folk living out their dreams... and nightmares.

Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre
Inspired casting choices elevate an otherwise middle of the wood production.

Review: The Rewilding of Uncle Dad, Bold Theatre
A charming, immersive soundwalk, combining clowning, movement, and live sound to make the ordinary strange and extraordinary.

A triumphant, genuine, and well-intentioned return to Rydell.

Review: The Railway Children, Keighley & Worth Valley Railway
A tale of childhood adventure is a mighty feat of stagecraft, somewhat let down by missed opportunities for education and promotion of acceptance between cultures.
