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.
-
The Glass Protégé, Park Theatre – Review
A solid production of a fascinating love story that explores the hidden secrets behind Hollywood's golden era.
-
DNA, Jack Studio Theatre – Review
An interesting and memorable piece with a hard-hitting story.
-
Carmen Disrupted, Almeida Theatre – Review
Though beautiful and well acted, this production about the isolation and disconnect of urban life ultimately isolates audiences with overly artsy elitism.
-
Plastic Figurines, New Diorama Theatre – Review
A funny but sad story about what real love between a family looks and feels like, delivered by a super cast. Ella Carmen Greenhill is surely a playwright to keep an eye on.
-
The Absence of War, Rose Theatre Kingston – Review
A sleek and striking production of David Hare's (relatively) balanced contemplation on the Labour Party. It is both thought-provoking and riveting while being just as relevant now as it was when it was first presented 22 years ago.

Mrs Roosevelt Flies to London, King’s Head Theatre – Review
An accomplished, intriguing, interesting show about an accomplished, intriguing, interesting woman. Unfortunately, we never quite get to meet the real Eleanor Roosevelt.
-
Birdphobia, The Space – Review
This performance has a unique concept, but could have been executed more effectively.
-
Animals, Theatre 503 – Review
Animals poses some truly challenging questions about where our society is heading but the execution of these ideas, at least at present, is a little clumsy.
-
In Bad Taste, Jaguar Shoes – Review
A cabaret inspired performance piece that has sparks of magic but that needs to do more to earn its name.
