Jazzamatazz!, London Wonderground – Review
Great fun for families with good quality music and a guaranteed feel-good factor.
-
Lesere, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review
The script and plot strip away the play’s dramatic impact and with it any notion of a psychological thriller.
-
The Barber of Seville, JW3 – Review
This on trend production in the style of an English period drama infuses Rossini’s comic opera with new energy and humour.
-
Bitesize Chekhov, The Courtyard – Review
Fast, funny, and approachable theatre which deserves a bigger audience.
-
Orson’s Shadow, Southwark Playhouse – Review
The UK premiere of Orson’s Shadow about the clash of stage and screen titans Olivier and Welles will appeal to drama geeks and engage the rest of us.
-
As Is, Trafalgar Studios – Review
A fantastic, poignant portrayal of the AIDS crisis and those it affected. It is brilliantly written, incredibly deep and takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions.
-
Dot, Squiggle and Rest, Polka Theatre – Review
A vibrant and mesmeric opera – the perfect introduction to opera and dance for toddlers.
-
The Dreamers, St James Theatre – Review
A disappointing addition to a year of commemorative Great War plays. Might suit families with small children, but otherwise unsatisfying.
-
The Four Fridas, Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich – Review
A great concept, which sadly fails to do justice to the legend of one of the world's most beloved cult heroines.

King Henry V, Union Theatre – Review
An uncompromising interpretation of Henry V. Well performed, but a little dry.
