Review: Little Shop Of Horrors, Crucible Theatre Sheffield
This latest Crucible Christmas musical has energy, innovation and excellent performances. With a clearer time and place setting it would be even better.
-
Review: The Overcoat, Spitalfields Market
Expect the unexpected in this feelgood, creative adaptation of Gogol’s classic story, with silly sleuthing, slapstick and shadowplay.
-
Review: Goldie Frocks and the Bear Mitzvah, JW3
Not quite your traditional panto, this one comes complete with added chutzpah as JW3 deliver the country’s only Jewish pantomime.
-
Review: Peter Pan, Phoenix Theatre
Camp and chaotic, low budget, rude, crude and very silly: well, what were you expecting? Good fun. Go with a group and have a few beers first.
-
Review: The Legends of Them, Royal Court
A funny, thought-provoking rollercoaster portrayal of Lorna Gee’s life and family, and the music and history that influenced them.
-
Review: The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary, Southwark Playhouse
A tremendously fun and clever romp through one of the “best novels ever written” while maintaining the story structure and message of the original.
-
Review: Pan, Chickenshed
A heartfelt, ambitious and energetic celebration of what can be created with care and collaboration.
-
Review: Captain Sandy and the Sea Monster, Puppet Theatre Barge
Sea shanties, slapstick and saving the seas, superbly imagined in a magical space where the impossible can actually happen!

Review: BILL, Omnibus Theatre
Bursts with imaginative creativity as it grapples with the complexity of conspiracy theories in the USA as propagated and promoted by the mysterious Bill Cooper.

Review: The Christmas Thing, Seven Dials Playhouse
A Nostalgic Blend of Comedy, Chaos, and Christmas Cheer.
