Review: That’s Not My Name, Pleasance Theatre
A chaotic and fearless solo show that confronts psychiatry as it drags its audience into madness.
-
Review: Slippery, Omnibus Theatre
A sophisticated, sensory exploration of the emotional spaces created by addiction and grief in a queer world.
-
Review: Vincent in Brixton, Orange Tree Theatre
A beautifully acted, expertly written imagining of Van Gogh’s early days that tackles questions about art, love and happiness without resorting to the familiar or predictable.
-
Review: The Rite of Spring/Mirror, Sadler’s Wells
An inventive double bill that brings AI and live motion capture to contemporary dance, yet is underwhelming in its execution.
-
Review: Welcome To Pemfort, Soho Theatre
Big questions with deep empathy and a spectacular performance from Sean Delaney
-
Review: My Brother’s A Genius, National Youth Theatre
A grime-fuelled, raw, neurodivergent sibling story.
-
Review: Body & Soul, Sadler’s Wells
choreographer de jour Crystal Pite and snappy newcomer Kameron N. Saunders beguiled me. Add the English National Ballet, and it is almost a fait accompli.

Review: Living, Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse
A world premier presenting dozens of slices of ordinary life over five decades. The writing and performances are excellent.

Review: Takımyıldızları / Constellations, Arcola Theatre
Stripped back, minimalist two-hander.

Review: RUTH, Wilton’s Music Hall
A strong central performance cannot save this show from its lack of depth and structural weaknesses.
