Review: Otherland, Almeida Theatre
A play that is about so much more than being trans, Otherland is a celebration of female unity as it explores the struggles faced by anyone presenting as a woman.

Review: Birdboy/United Fall, Sadler’s Wells
Irish choreographer Emma Martin’s London debut promises an all-ages tribute to the oddballs of the world but rather slides between the generation gaps.
-
Review: Gangbang, Seven Dials Playhouse
A strong send up of mob movies. If you're a fan of the genre, Hughie Shepherd-Cross's play will make you laugh a great deal.

Review: Swan Teeth, Theatreship
Swan Teeth is a reflection on love, loss and being in relationships. A play-within-a-play that feels more like hearing about things than seeing them.
-
Review: The Count of Monte Cristo, Theatre at the Tabard
A humorous reimagination of Defoe's classic novel, skilfully written to still capture his essential questioning of moral responsibility
-
Review: Sh!t Theatre: Or What’s Left Of Us, Soho Theatre
A surreal and singular creative triumph that develops slowly, gripping you with its macabre approach and witty humour, and culminates in a poignant ending that sticks.
-
Review: Lynn Faces, New Diorama Theatre
Punk and Alan Partridge collide in this hilarious comedy with DIY songs about snazzy cardigans and sex people and, behind the comedy, a hard-hitting story of moving on from abuse.

This highly original slice of everyday life will warm your heart.

Review: There’s a Bear on My Chair, Southbank Centre
No grizzly children at this show! A playful, puppet-filled adaptation of a favourite picture book, this is a roaring success that will have everyone squeaking with laughter.
