Review: Getting Rekt, Union Theatre
This story of inter-generational friendship delivers warmth and humour, but could do a lot more with less.
-
Review: Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella, Underbelly Bristo Square
A very personal and shocking story of a homophobic attack, told with Karp's usual flair for the comedic and theatrical.

Review: Multicolore, Polka Theatre
A beautifully crafted, wordless show for 18 months plus. Exploring difference, friendship and acceptance, it moves from a place of white to somewhere more richly colourful.
-
Review: Rhino Conservation Erotic Novel, Lower Marsh Arts Club
Daniel Trengove and Gabriel Madden have built a properly functioning comic engine: this show’s jokes are sharp, specific, and completely its own.
-
Review: The Pied Piper: A Rat’s Tale, Little Angel Theatre
Puppetry, original music and beautiful stagecraft work together to create a gentle, funny retelling of the Pied Piper, seen through the eyes of a heroic rat.
-
Review: Spontaneous Meets are not for the Weak, The Hope Theatre
Rather too clunky and awkward in the wrong way to fully capture the attention, so instead it just marauders along from start to finish
-
Review: King Lear, Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
A compelling, stunning production of Shakespeare's most uncompromising tragedy, with impeccable performances throughout, especially from the hugely impressive Ian McDiarmid in the title role.
-
Review: and I looked at the sky, Omnibus Theatre
A thoughtful and quietly courageous performance that examines difficult questions with sharp, passionate dialogue, a committed cast and solid staging.
-
Review: We’ll Always Have Paris, White Bear Theatre
Desperately seeking …LERV, Ginny can’t find that man in her life who’s real and not out of the movies. This new play charms but ultimately misses its mark.

Review: Mamma Mia, Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield
A fun, high-energy party of a musical, peppered with timeless ABBA classics and excellent performances.
