Scarlet, Southwark Playhouse – Review
A stylish but sanitised story of sex and revenge.
-
Two to Tune/10 Tracks for the End of the World, The Place – Review
Contemporary dance is a difficult concept to read and fully appreciate, but this performance is particularly hard to decode.
-
Early Days (Of a Better Nation), Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Theatre 2.0, in which the audience is the cast. Just how well could you argue the case to defend your region? Fascinating and highly relevant.
-
Dead Royal, Ovalhouse – Review
A guilty pleasure. Camp and silly, but not without flashes of insight.
-
Shock Treatment, King’s Head Theatre – Review
Beautifully bizarre and wickedly entertaining, this show will only get better with time.
-
Rise Like a Phoenix, Above The Stag – Review
This show reminds us it’s still important to keep talking about HIV and does so with warmth, if a little too much reflection.
-
The Falcon Bride, Soho – Review
A fantastic, dark but funny Icelandic tale, delivered by a one-woman story-telling machine.
-
Bridlington, The Rosemary Branch Theatre – Review
With masses of potential, this overcomplicated story sadly lacked any sense of direction and was rather too ambitious.
-
Baby, Hope Theatre – Review
A solidly performed piece exploring life issues can be heavy going, but an engaging cast pull it through the rough patches.
-
Death Of A Comedian, Soho Theatre – Review
Death Of A Comedian is a one-act play that explores one man’s journey from the late-night pub circuit to stand-up stardom and the compromises he’s forced to make to get there.
