The Comedy of Errors, The Museum of The Order of St John – Review
This quirky take on Shakespeare’s farcical comedy is unbeatable for its exuberance and lusty humour.
-
The Picture Of John Gray, The Old Red Lion Theatre – Review
A class act! A strong ensemble cast tells a never heard before true story that needs to be seen to be believed!
-
Jezebel, Soho Theatre – Review
A very funny and farcical play which boasts of likeable characters and a big heart.
-
Laptop Dancer – Phoenix Artist Club, Review
An homage to women has never been done quite like this. Steven Carne brings to life the famous and not so famous through his own version of drag and vaudeville-like comedy.
-
Botheration, Hen & Chickens Theatre – Review
An overall enjoyable line-up with great potential, a good mix of physical and intellectual comedy that can sometimes slow down a bit but remains fun nevertheless.
-
Revolution Farm, Newham City Farm – Review
A really accessible production of a modern classic - a great way to introduce younger audiences to the works of Orwell and get them thinking about the structure of societies and the nature of government.
-
Troilus and Cressida, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
This is cutting-edge Shakespeare, don’t miss it. Lazarus’ work epitomises the spirit of fringe theatre.
-
Dirty Promises, Hope Theatre – Review
A haunting, albeit brief, tale of all-consuming love, control and obsession.
-
Coriolanus – Our World At War, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A skilful adaptation of this Shakespearean Tragedy, with the action and passion to bring the story to life.
-
Madame Bovary, The Hope Theatre – Review
Forget your high school thoughts of Madame Bovary, and dive into a fresh look at Gustave Flaubert’s classic. Banal realism is turned on its head as the classic characters satirise the humdrum of daily life in this dark comedy.
