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!

Paradise Lost (Lies Unopened Beside Me), Wilton’s Music Hall – Review
Tremendously funny and extremely enjoyable – one of the best things I’ve seen this year.
Read More »Twelfth Night With Comedians, London Wonderground – Review
A unique take on Shakespeare; for all its many faults, it's still well worth exploring this and this company’s upcoming productions.

A delightfully mad and twisted Molotov cocktail of a cabaret will whisk you away to a dangerous place where darkness reigns and morals are dead.
Read More »The Fix, New Union Theatre – Review
Pros: Resplendent and enduring performances with an engaging narrative Cons: The heat in the studio and additional seating affected comfort levels This summer sees the return of The Fix at Southwark’s New Union Theatre. Last seen at the theatre in 2012 before the Union Theatre moved into its new home (hence the change of name), the musical follows the drama and corruption of the Chandlers, a family that is determined – at all costs – to get their hands on the ...

A good production that is easy to follow and laugh along with. It’s in need of tidying up in places, but there are good performances from most of the cast.

Pros: At last a fairy tale to promote LGBTQ equality. Cons: Don’t expect elaborate set and costumes, but focus on the acting. Oval must be one of the cutest Underground stations in London.

A dull and pointless evening.

Pros: A brilliant script and a beautiful performance from Nancy Sullivan. Cons: Although intimate, the venue has a dark and airless atmosphere, which can sometimes be uncomfortable. London theatre never fails to surprise me. The latest shock is that the New Wimbledon Theatre has a studio! Like all good studio theatres it stands at the vanguard of new, innovative productions and Fabric is no exception. It tells the story of Leah (Nancy Sullivan) in a one woman, one act play ...

Pros: Brilliant sound quality and excellent execution. I’d definitely watch this show again. Cons: In the intimacy of a 70-seat studio theatre, I was easily distracted by the obnoxious behaviour of a fellow spectator. Almost every night since 1994, the Jermyn Street Theatre has been welcoming around 70 people into an intimate space once used as a changing room by the staff of an adjacent restaurant. Listed on Google as a ‘tiny fringe theatre for plays & musicals’, this venue ...
