Lampedusa, Soho Theatre – Review
Eye-opening and ear-poppingly shocking. With subtlety and wit in equal measure, we’re told a story that actually matters.
-
Voices, Lion and Unicorn Theatre – Review
Prepared to be baffled by this mix of WWI poetry, interspersed with a veteran’s real life story. Suitable for those already familiar with the poems or those up for a neighbourhood play between drinks.
-
King Lear – The Rose Playhouse, Review
It’s the right play, with the right cast, in the right venue. A great addition to the performance history of King Lear.
-
Death Row Cowboy, The Courtyard Theatre – Review
A solid production debut – with some great strengths, and a few weaknesses. Three Peas have potential.
-
Blush of Dogs, Tabard Theatre – Review
Fragen Theatre Company’s brave attempt at a new Greek tragedy is a mixed bag. Although sometimes a bit slow, there are moments of visceral brilliance.
-
Miann, Southbank Centre – Review
A haunting, expressive performance, but it probably appeals mostly to specialist audiences.
-
Hard Graft, Ovalhouse Theatre – Review
All very likeable, but unfortunately lacking conviction.
-
Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story, Greenwich Theatre – Review
A gripping tale of obsession and devotion gone too far, with an atmosphere and storyline which certainly did ‘thrill me.’
-
So It Goes, Shoreditch Town Hall – Review
A production whose apparent simplicity masks highly complex, well thought out ideas that slowly unfold into an honest and open account of what it is like to grieve.
-
Apartment 40C, St James Studio – Review
An engaging new kid on the block that has the potential to contend with the heavyweight musicals of the West End.
