Review: Slaughterhouse-Five (Or The Children’s Crusade), Southwark Playhouse

Review: Shantify, Underbelly Boulevard
A vague narrative and poor puns sink this overlong piece of gig theatre.
-
Review: Cheeky Zippy Violette, Scottish Storytelling Centre
Riotous entertainment that has the audience screaming with excitement, slightly to the detriment of the main theme.

Review: Gretel, Assembly Roxy
A charmingly skilful performance strengthens a migration story that loses its way.

Offers an authentic, relatable portrayal of young people on the cusp of adulthood.

Troubled rendition of a classic theatre text
-

A fabulous frosty installation crafted with care for young audiences with special needs
