Picnic / Eastern Europeans for Dummies, Rosemary Branch Theatre – Review
A nice diversion to break up the working week if you’re in the area, and the second play of the two is definitely worth catching.
-
Breeders, St James Theatre – Review
A missed opportunity that fails to capitalise on a rich subject matter and deep pool of talent.
-
Façade / Eight Songs For A Mad King, Arcola Theatre – Review
An often excellent, sometimes disturbing production of difficult music by an impressive cast of young performers.
-
Intimacy, Southbank Centre – Review
Helped along with fantastic musical direction, this is an unsentimental exploration of the personal impact of a MS on the life of one woman, and the man closest to her.
-
Oliva Tweest, Hackney Empire – Review
Judging by my fellow spectators’ enthusiasm this is a great show for the initiated, but it’s less suitable for afrobeats rookies.
-
Royal Duchess Superstore, The Broadway Barking – Review
A well presented production that is perhaps trying to say too much at once. The show goes for a suspenseful build up with no real resolution - a confusing let down.
-
The Return of the Soldier, Jermyn Street Theatre – Review
In the centenary of the Great War, a timely reminder of sacrifices made by a lost generation.
-
Reptember, New Diorama Theatre – Review
This is a really interesting project, well-written and performed at a great theatre venue. The Faction ensemble are definitely ones to watch.
-
The Flouers O’Edinburgh – Finborough Theatre – Review
Excellent theatre from the Finborough in this contemporarily relevant play about the historical conflict between Scottish and English identities.
-
Little Revolution, Almeida Theatre – Review
More of a documentary than a play, Little Revolution is interesting in parts but not all that penetrating.
