Review: It Would be Such a Shame if You Missed Out, Traverse Theatre
Audaciously absurd, raucous and riotous – yet incisively reflective
-
Review: Cheeky Zippy Violette, Scottish Storytelling Centre
Riotous entertainment that has the audience screaming with excitement, slightly to the detriment of the main theme.
-
Review: Gretel, Assembly Roxy
A charmingly skilful performance strengthens a migration story that loses its way.
-
Review: Brrr, Lyra Artspace
A fabulous frosty installation crafted with care for young audiences with special needs
-
Review: Cringe, Scottish Storytelling Centre
A brilliantly entertaining show for teens that bravely speaks the unspoken
-
Review: Boys Don’t Dance, Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh
A stylish, impressively physical dance piece that proves just about anything can be possible with self-belief and determination
-
Review: Romeo and Juliet, Salisbury Playhouse
A timeless interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic – storytelling compelling in its site-specificity, ambitious in form and utterly exhilarating in execution.
-
Review: Annie, New Wimbledon Theatre
Sparkling, silly and effortlessly funny, Annie proves that a bit of musical magic and a cute dog can fix just about anything.
-
Review: Bound By the Wind: Echoes of the Past, The Rotunda Theatre Bubble, Brighton
An ambitious take on Mulan with strong ideas and committed performances, but underdeveloped writing and staging leave its promise only partly fulfilled.
-
Review: Noughts and Crosses, Lyceum Theatre
A well acted and fast paced adaptation which keeps the audience's interest but with a busy narrative that sometimes lacks depth.
