Despite the play’s moving subject matter, 213 Things About Me fails to engage with the audience and can feel heavy.

An intensely physical and high octane journey through bigorexia and body dismorphia that could do with an emotional punch.

A disturbing, though thoroughly absorbing study of gang culture and knife crime in London.

A toe-tapping musical adaptation of the iconic early noughties drag queen movie, with live music impressively integrated into the action.

Flawless entertainment in this hilarious and heart-warming family comedy about a cross-cultural wedding.
