Review: Marking Time, Sadler’s Wells
The transition from a quiet, intimate reflection on identity, to a fluid, playful water inspired trio culminating in a dark, ritualistic finale makes for an outstanding evening with exceptional choreography, striking visuals, and sublime live music.
-
Review: Museum of Us, Canada Water Theatre
An earnest and heartfelt consideration of what it is to be British for young people in London.
-
Review: Dreamgirls, The Bridewell Theatre
A powerful and soulful rendition of the Broadway classic that emphasises life backstage.
-
Review: The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return, Half Moon Theatre
A gripping, high-energy blend of lyrical narration and dynamic ensemble work that portrays the vulnerability, violence, and hope young people experience.
-
Review: Sophie’s Surprise Party, Underbelly Boulevard Soho
A thrilling night of circus skills packaged as incoherent house party nostalgia.
-
Review: The Good Landlord, Omnibus Theatre
Served an eviction notice from a mould-infested flat? This absurdist piece attempts to deal with the issues but falls flat, to coin a phrase. Alas, a missed opportunity.
-
Review: Precipice, New Diorama Theatre
Good music and a strong cast let down by script and lyrics
-
Review: Drifting, Southwark Playhouse
Strong female performances and atmospheric staging stand out, although the script’s vagueness can leave much for the audience to interpret.
-
Review: Taniko, Theatro Technis
Voilà! Festival ships over a tale of sisterhood, sacrifice and gentrification, in the shifting patter of Greek from Athens to London. The social drama should translate fairly easily, considering the common ground and universal themes.

Review: Continuity, Cockpit Theatre
An unbridled dystopian drama, full of ideas but lacking plausibility and emotional truth.
