Review: Rayuela, Sadler’s Wells East
Playful, fearless and constantly searching.

Review: Buonarroti, The Hope Theatre
With an engaging premise, good direction and a beautiful set, there’s a lot to like about Buonarroti, in spite of issues with chemistry.
-
Review: Arthur, Polka Theatre
A witty, warm-hearted reimagining of the Arthurian legend that combines silliness with genuine emotional depth. Packed with inventive storytelling, great performances and theatrical imagination.
-
Review: Rapunzel, Half Moon Theatre
Visually inventive and musically engaging, Rapunzel has plenty of charm and potential, but currently loses its way, with an overcrowded script and muddled narrative stopping its feminist heart shining through.
-
Review: AFTERDARK, Pride in Kingston
An unusual way to beat the heat while simultaneously supporting hyper-local Pride, rolling around the footings of a 12th-century Saxon bridge over the River Thames proves an unexpected treat.
-
Review: Colossus, Southbank Centre
A kaleidoscopic human murmuration lands at the Southbank Centre
-
Review: Teeth, Playhouse East
A heartfelt story about loneliness, confidence and the need for human connection.
-
Review: Grindr: The Opera! (an unauthorised parody), Union Theatre
Searing, sultry and salty; Grindr: The Opera! is unforgettable.
-
Review: Cyrano de Bergerac, The Noel Coward Theatre
Sharp and modern Cyrano blending humour, heartbreak and contemporary relevance
-
Review: My Name is Rachel Corrie, Hen and Chickens Theatre
Fiona Lynch is mesmerising in this intense and intimate revival of the powerful testimony of young Gaza activist killed in 2003.
