Review: The Palestinian Circus: Step and a Half, Underbelly’s Circus Hub
Joy as an act of resistance: soaring aerials, energetic dabkeh and gravity-defying tumbling.
-
Review: Death Note: The Musical, The Barbican
An epic, big budget, polished production with a talented cast, lacking the psychological drama of the gripping source material.
-
Review: Tea, Texts and Top of the Pops, Barons Court Theatre
Following the journey of loss and grief, two sisters navigate hurt, sadness and pain. With an excellent soundtrack, some script revisions would see this play thrive.

Review: Don Quixote (is a Very Big Book), Pleasance Dome
Sublime puppetry graces a performance that’s missing a few strings.
-
Review: Black Box, Belly Button at Underbelly
An extraordinary story where magic, movement and music bring Henry ‘Box’ Brown’s journey to life.
-
Review: Antigone, Barons Court Theatre
A powerful, pacey Antigone with striking modern resonance.
-
Review: Perils of Youth Play, Barons Court Theatre
A play where nothing actually happens yet it keeps you gripped throughout, as mother and son go through an eternal game of accusations and regrets.
-
Review: Murder on the Allotment, The Cockpit
Cleverly representing the concerns over immigration through the lens of allotment holders gives this show lots of wit and quaintness. It just needs a little more drama to elevate it further.
-
Review: Dear Michelle Kwan, theSpaceTriplex
A riotously funny dark comedy about the pressures of the hyper-competitive, hyper-feminine world of figure skating
-
Review: A Costume Drama, ZOO Playground
A heartfelt story with a lot of potential which doesn't quite make it over the line for the crowd to go wild.
