Review: Mates, Hen and Chickens Theatre
An intelligent exploration of the art of making theatre, highlighting a full range of genres. Presented alongside effective character drama and good entertainment along the way.
-
Review: Francisco de Nata, Soho Theatre
Francisco de Nata is a reminder of how powerful softness can be. It asks very little of its audience yet gives back so much.
-
Review: Fish Bowl, Peacock Theatre
One paper-thin wall between loneliness and connection. Fish Bowl turns everyday city life into sublime, silent chaos.
-
Review: Cable Street,Marylebone Theatre
A heartfelt and detailed portrayal of a vital part of London’s history, with an exciting score, compelling songs and excellent performances.
-
Review: Hamlet, Polka Theatre
A smart, playful and musically rich Hamlet that distils Shakespeare’s biggest questions into an hour of inventive, child-centred storytelling without ever underestimating its young audience.
-
Review: Barbary Lion, The Drayton Arms
An interesting dystopian conversation dampened by its ambiguities.
-
Review: Deadcrush, The Hope Theatre
A formative dark comedy with moments that shine out.
-
Review: Squirrel, Unicorn Theatre
A welcoming, playful immersive theatre experience where babies, toddlers and adults play together, guided by a curious (and slightly pesky) squirrel we meet along the way.
-
Review: Collaborator, The Place
A tender reflection, Collaborator transforms twenty years of partnership into a quietly rebellious piece of circus theatre, rich with vulnerability and artistic confidence.
-
Review: Mrs President, Charing Cross Theatre
A play which all too often feels like a stern lecture rather than a natural exploration of the characters: not even a superb performance by Keala Settle can save it.
