Review: Hamlet, Polka Theatre
A smart, playful and musically rich Hamlet that distils Shakespeare’s biggest questions into an hour of inventive, child-centred storytelling without ever underestimating its young audience.
-
Review: Barbary Lion, The Drayton Arms
An interesting dystopian conversation dampened by its ambiguities.
-
Review: Deadcrush, The Hope Theatre
A formative dark comedy with moments that shine out.
-
Review: Squirrel, Unicorn Theatre
A welcoming, playful immersive theatre experience where babies, toddlers and adults play together, guided by a curious (and slightly pesky) squirrel we meet along the way.
-
Review: Collaborator, The Place
A tender reflection, Collaborator transforms twenty years of partnership into a quietly rebellious piece of circus theatre, rich with vulnerability and artistic confidence.
-
Review: Mrs President, Charing Cross Theatre
A play which all too often feels like a stern lecture rather than a natural exploration of the characters: not even a superb performance by Keala Settle can save it.
-
Review: Rapunzel, The Montgomery
Funny and full of colour, energy and camaraderie with an outstanding Director/Dame.
-
Review: To Kill A Mockingbird, Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield
A remarkable adaptation with superb performances all round, giving this seminal novel new relevance for today's audiences.
-
Review: Jorvik, The Glitch
Immersive and engaging Viking tales and songs beneath the streets of Waterloo.
-
Review: Dance Til You’re Dead, Hen and Chickens Theatre
A witty, smartly performed cautionary tale about the price of success. While its direction doesn’t embrace the darkness at the heart of its story, standout performances and a rambunctious soundtrack shine through.
