Review: Broken Boys, Hen and Chickens Theatre
An audacious, refreshing and superbly acted exploration of what it means to grow up gay.
-
Review: Unleashed, Etcetera Theatre
This sex-positive exploration of life as a dominatrix has plenty of playful energy, but its muddled and simplistic preachiness doesn't feel very grown-up.
-
Review: Under the Influence, Underbelly Bristo Square
What’s it like to live and work with your identical twin while under constant pressure to build traffic as an online influencer?
-
Review: Tchaikovsky, Child of Glass, Opera Holland Park
An impressive biopic of the great maestro, with a few cracks.
-
Review: I, The Boar, Etcetera Theatre
An intellectual and abstract exploration of love, obsession and ritualisation in sexuality, modelled on the tale of Venus, Adonis, and the Boar.
-
Review: MAJENIN – A Palestinian Love Story (مجانين), Pleasance Dome
A sharp, funny, deeply human love story that dares you to laugh at the hard things.
-
Review: Operotica: Lovers in Every Lifetime, Underbelly Bristo Square
Pun-fuelled queer opera burlesque with a fetish slant that is strictly for grownups, and will leave you laughing.
-
Review: The Doctor Will See You Now, Lion & Unicorn Theatre
More a collection of comic ideas based around a hospital waiting room than a fully thought-out show. When it is subtle, it works. When it is less so, it all falls apart.
-
Review: Puffling Percy, Little Angel Theatre
With super songs, seabirds and storytelling, Puffling Percy is a breath of fresh air for the whole family.

Review: A Foot is Not an Appropriate Prize for the Tombola, Pleasance Courtyard
Cosy crime invaded by apocalyptic sci-fi which starts off slow, but accelerates to a madcap finish.
