Review: The Vertical Hour, The Questors Theatre
A revival that brings its conflict to life through great performances, but time has dulled the impact...

Review: The Bodyguard, New Wimbledon Theatre
A dramatic show with musical fireworks, dampened by some fundamental structural defects.

Review: Practically Imperfect, OSO Arts Centre
A complicated relationship between a writer and her biggest creation. This could be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – maybe with a spoonful of sugar, next time.

By Trial & Error is delightful and wholesome show that showcases outstanding acrobatic performances inspired by slapstick and silent film: perfect for young audiences.

Review: The Shitheads, Royal Court Theatre
Jack Nicholl’s debut play imaginatively proposes what life may have been like for our prehistoric ancestors.

Review: Who Let the Gods Out, Polka Theatre
A slightly frenetic, gag-stuffed Greek-myth musical that leans on slapstick and familiarity, skimming past the richer emotional depth at its core.

Review: Living with an Alien, Playhouse East
A cosy village mystery collides with cosmic unease in this sharp, sci-fi tinged comedy.
