Our Town, Almeida Theatre – Review
This timeless play has the powerful homespun wisdom of a classic American morality tale.
-
Comedians, Chelsea Theatre – Review
Brutal, almost dehumanising production that raises more questions about comedy than it is able to answer.
-
The World Mouse Plague, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
Strange, surreal and very entertaining theatre—even if I’m not sure I understood everything I saw!
-
Trip the Light Fantastic Toe, The Place – Review
An interesting evening that showcases a variety of modern dance styles and also gives the spectators the chance to show off their own moves.

How Nigeria Became: A Story and a Spear That Didn’t Work, Unicorn Theatre – Review
A wonderfully performed, colourful family show full of laughter set in historical Nigeria.
-
MilkMilkLemonade, Ovalhouse Theatre – Review
An absurd, comic and touching play about gender and sexuality set in a dusty Midwestern town with plenty of hay and chickens to match.
-
Listen, We’re Family – Wilton’s Music Hall, Review
This performed recital of Jewish life stories is inventive and insightful, though at times its demanding method distracts from the storytelling.
-
Das Ding, New Diorama Theatre – Review
A compelling basis for a story, sadly this globetrotting play is a little half-baked and a lot preachy.
-
The Infidel, Theatre Royal Stratford East – Review
Yes, a few tasteless jokes, but the lively and cleverly written musical numbers were really enjoyable. Overall an entertaining stage adaptation with some captivating performances throughout.
-
Damn Yankees, Landor Theatre – Review
High-stepping musical theatre in the classic Broadway tradition.
