Outdoor
You’ll find these shows in the summer mostly, but not exclusively – we’ve seen an outdoor show in January before! So if you fancy some fresh air then check these reviews out, grab your umbrella and head into the great outdoors.

Drifting Dragons, Arcola Theatre – Review
This site-specific piece offers simplistic opera in a great location with good performances from all.
-
Alice In Wonderland, Abney Park -Review
With bubbles, tea parties, hearts and stolen tarts, this show indefinitely represents that they really are all mad here in Wonderland. A fun cast, a fantastic story and an incredible location!
-
The Merchant of Venice, Studio 3 Arts – Review
The Merchant of Venice is a thrillingly tangible production full of community spirit.
-
Empathy Museum, outside Now Gallery – Review
I had reservations about this installation, and was delighted to be proven wrong. Empathy Museum is a fantastic, fun, free pop up which represents something we need much more of in our city.
-
Hamlet, The Rose Playhouse – Review
A powerful abbreviated Hamlet, set in the haunting (yet chilly!) archaeological dig of the Rose Playhouse.
-
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre – Review
A funny if rather ridiculous show that’ll have you signing up for line dance classes as soon as you get home.
-
The Four Fridas, Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich – Review
A great concept, which sadly fails to do justice to the legend of one of the world's most beloved cult heroines.
-
Twelfth Night, Iris Theatre – Review
A really approachable version of one of Shakespeare’s most loved comedies that’s suitable for all the family. A talented cast bring the play to life with song, dance and spirited delivery of the Bard’s words.
-
451, Greenwich+Docklands International Festival – Review
An absolute must-see show. Captivating story telling. A poignant theme for our time.
-
Mother Courage and Her Children, The Royal Arsenal – Review
Despite uncomfortable conditions, this was a well-performed and directed production in a fittingly historical setting.
