The Ring Cycle, The Scoop – Review
An outdoors production south of the river that outshines the West End, this transformation of Wagner’s well-known 19th Century opera will convert any theatre-phobe.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Rockwell House – Review
A fresh portrayal of a classic play; great fun for everyone.

Porgy and Bess, Regents Park Open Air Theatre – Review
This production did more than justice to the classic tale of love and betrayal. Powerful and unsentimental with many memorable performances.

Alice Through the Looking Glass, St Paul’s Church – Review
A magical, mystical play where the audience is literally transported through the looking glass and into Wonderland along with the fantastically talented cast. A great theatre experience for kids and grown-ups alike.

A great summer evening out for both adults and children alike.

The seventies theme and musical numbers give fresh life to Shakespeare’s rib-tickling revenge comedy.

Enjoyably gory production of a classic piece.

A beautifully judged production with the added twist of a swing band and trapeze artist.

A lively and well-acted interpretation of a Shakespearean classic.
