Seven short plays effectively chart the course of recent gay history.

Simon Evans' cinematographic cut is imprinted in this fast-paced and strongly visual Hamlet.

A fantastic and relatable piece of new writing, perfectly portrayed with intriguing and frustratingly good performances. 

A thoughtful response to generation Gogglebox.

Pros: This is entertaining, creative, eye-catching and full of good moral values. Cons: The merging of two-well known stories adds a great deal of complication. As something of an Iris Theatre super-fan, I couldn’t wait to review their latest offering, a kid-friendly production of Hansel and Gretel and the Witch Baba Yaga, in the charming St. Paul’s Church in Covent Garden.

A haunting piece of theatre on human behavior that will stay with you.
