Captures the quiet chaos of middle-class suburban life with bite and booze – but at three hours long, even the politest house guest might start eyeing the door.

Review: The Vanishing Forest, Polka Theatre
Opera for children – who’d have thought it? Exceptional music wrapped in a thoughtfully crafted, magical adventure that’s both bewitching and thought-provoking. More of this please!

Review: Mrs Warren’s Profession, Garrick Theatre
A garden, a mother, a daughter, and a looming line of work. Bernard Shaw’s searing social commentary springs eternal with Imelda Staunton and Bessie Carter as head gardeners.
