Regional
As much as we don’t like the word regional, we really couldn’t think of anything better! This is the home of all our reviews from around the country to show theatre doesn’t just happen in London and Edinburgh.
-
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.
-
Review: Almost Fine, Friends Meeting House
A stripped‑back, movement‑led solo piece that blends physical theatre and dance to explore the messy, shifting terrain of identity, delivered with remarkable flexibility and raw honesty.
-
Review: He’s 6 Years Older Than Me, Lantern Theatre
A bold, provocative solo show exploring consent and sexual health that delivers striking moments and clear ambition, but which would benefit from sharper focus and development.
-
Review: Footloose, The University of Sheffield Drama Studio
An enjoyable and energetic production created and performed by very talented Sheffield University students.
-
Review: Barnum, Lyceum Theatre
A spectacular visually stunning production with some awe-inspiring circus performers and fabulous music, but the busy stage sometimes detracts from the story.
