Review: Cogito Ergo… Something?, Bedlam Theatre
A classic piece of farce that takes more than a little influence from the TV series Bottom.
-
Review: A Slow Fire, Jermyn Street Theatre
A tense three‑hander set in a claustrophobic bunker and driven by strong performances, striking design and clever storytelling. It explores hope, survival and shifting power dynamics in an intimate post‑apocalyptic world.

Review: Fractured, Underbelly Cowgate
Clever production values keep this mysterious play moving along at pace as we try to piece together the fragments of Eva’s memories of events.

Review: The Bear That Wasn’t; OPEN Southall, Parkside Yards
A beautifully crafted and enchanting marionette show, layered with intriguing questions about identity and the human relationship with nature.

Review: Verity Sharpe: Landlord’s Wet Dream, Assembly Bristo Square
A mix of stand-up and poetry; it's the latter when Verity Sharpe comes fully alive.
-
Review: Otuz Bir, Venue 13
Tackling female violence with a talking vagina might seem tasteless, but Otuz Bir proves that anything is possible.
-
Review: A Vacuum at the Centre, Paradise in the Vault
There are moments of brilliance, but all too often this show descends into uncontrolled chaos that overshadows all the good.
-
Review: B*tch Eat Dog, Greenside @ George Street
A chaotic puppet sketch show with lots of great moments throughout that suggest there is plenty more to come from this team.
-
Review: Medusa’s Voice, The Courtyard Theatre
Tantalising moments when the search for justice brings further trauma.

Review: Sexatron, Greenside @ George Street
Poorly produced, and you sense half of it is made up as they go along. But it's just so damn funny, you can forgive all that.
