Liberty Rides Forth!, Waterloo East Theatre – Review
A show with strong bouncing tunes, a warm heart and some sly wit. Quirky and original, but it doesn't embrace its full wackiness.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecologic Oncology Unit …, Finborough Theatre – Review
Pros: A great comic turn from Cariad Lloyd, bouncing (sometimes literally) off an equally fine Rob Crouch. Cons: It’s not a title that slips of the tongue is it! And if the title offends, then so will the play. So let’s start…

Timeless, Theatre N16 – Review
A witty and sensitive script

Murder She Didn’t Write, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
Pros: A cast fully able to think on their feet, providing some genuinely brilliant one liners, a little innuendo and plenty of clever ad libs. Cons: Not a show for the connoisseurs who like their theatre seamless and without actors…

Adam, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Pros: Visual alchemy – the production design and Grand Hall setting combined to create delightful thematic echoes that enhanced the whole experience. Cons: With so much going on visually and sonically, the text felt unnecessarily wordy sometimes. At last summer’s…
