Review: When We Were Us, Jack Studio Theatre
A well-intentioned exploration of abuse and friendship is undermined by an overcrowded script that muddles its message.
-
Review: Kish Kush: Traces of an Encounter, Polka Theatre
Playful, thoughtful and visually striking. A show that proves children’s theatre can tackle big ideas with grace and simplicity.
-
Review: Ancient Grease, The Vaults
A Grease‑in‑Greece parody with committed performances, but uneven comedy and execution that never fully realises its potential.
-
Review: Yentl, Marylebone Theatre
Part rom com, part fairytale, part theological rumination, part social critique, Yentl is a compelling, sometimes stressful watch
-
Review: Hung Dance: Push and Pull, Coronet Theatre
A sometimes playful, sometimes sinister exploration of a binary construct, through tai chi inspired dance.
-
Review: Nosebleeds, The Glitch
A clever and quietly devastating exploration of identity and distance during conflict. Small theatre with a surprisingly strong pulse.
-
Review: Keep Your Sunny Side Up: The Gracie Fields Story, Museum of Comedy
The story of a working-class girl from Rochdale: spanning a global career and reminding us us of her fame, her talent and her generosity.
-
Review: Art, Etcetera Theatre
A complex look into friendship that is both funny and heart wrenching.
-
Review: Landscapes, Sadler’s Wells East
Less is more in a show which unites dance, light and music to create potent explorations of illusion and space.
-
Review: Witch Girl Summer, Lion and Unicorn Theatre
A play with truly magnificent production, let down by a fun script that merely teases, with the promise of so much more.
