This show is an excellent way for anyone of any age to spend an afternoon.

An enjoyable adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s later, well-loved plays. Thoughtful stylisation and creative choices make the play magical at times, but it was just a little bit rough around the edges.

Inventive project with a fabulous score, story could have flowed better.

An original and relevant courtroom drama where the public is called in directly to judge the accused.

Food is a lovely starter and delicate main course, it just needed a sweet dessert to make it the perfect three course meal.

A light-hearted medieval musical with a solid cast, occasionally brilliant comedy and some catchy songs, but sadly lacking the overall polish and wow-factor of Tim Rice’s later triumphs.

Pros: A skilled ensemble whose evident enjoyment is infectious. A great soundtrack featuring the great Gainsbourg. Cons: Cluttered staging and an auditorium that (on one of the warmest evenings of the year) was like being at the centre of the earth. Celimène drunk, throwing up in a bucket, Acaste and Clitandre hoofing coke off a studio desk, Éliante and Philinte sharing a tender moment on the breakfast TV couch. Yes, obviously, it’s Le Misanthrope, Molière’s satire on the 17th century French ...

A compelling exploration into male suicide which will leave you wanting to reach out to people you don’t even know.

Pros: Imaginative, energetic and really entertaining. Cons: The performance is quite long and requires some serious stamina. The other night I had a funny dream. Accompanied by three other people, I was exploring the streets of Clapham Old Town, visiting estate agents, entering empty Italian cafes and interacting with some odd individuals. I had headed to Clapham Common to attend a performance of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream but, instead of the theatre’s address, I was told to wait ...

A promising performance from a stunning man in drag which was entirely spoiled by amplification problems.
