Not a Game for Boys, King’s Head Theatre – Review
An enjoyable production with a great cast and realistic backdrop.
-
Toilet Party, The Courtyard – Review
Great group of actors explore identity and destiny in a nicely unpretentious venue, but the supernatural script doesn’t wash.
-
Henry V, The Tramshed Theatre – Review
A wonderful, high energy and delightfully easy to understand re-telling of a Shakespearean classic.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, St James Studio – Review
Dorian’s story can teach us all a thing or two about the cult of youth.
-
The Two Noble Kinsmen, White Bear Theatre – Review
A perfect measure of comedy and misfortune, this hidden treasure is well worth a watch.
-
Turn Back The Clock, St. James Theatre – Review
A perfectly pitched tribute to Joyce Grenfell that will satisfy old fans and attract many new ones.
-
Reality, Ovalhouse – Review
An interesting exploration of the relationship between exploitation and entertainment in reality TV. The ideas are compelling and the acting is strong, but play would benefit from tighter structure and plot.

Alston at Home, The Place – Review
A wonderful celebration of 20 years of work by Richard Alston Dance Company, and a promise of more good things to come.
-

An ingenious, joyful and inventive piece of physical theatre that brings the end of the jazz era to life through beautiful performances, clever use of percussion, and play with light and shadow.

A marathon performance of a bloody saga with very impressive acting.
