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.

A delightful production of this pastoral opera.

Werther, Arcola Theatre – Review
Glyndebourne can wait – this beautiful production of the tragic story of Werther and his beloved Charlotte will move you to tears.

The Long Road South, Hope Theatre – Review
An admirable attempt to explore American racial politics that falls short.

Dead In The Water, Hen and Chickens Theatre – Review
A good show with some catchy songs, but needs some streamlining to make the plot easier to follow.

The Diary of a Nobody, The King’s Head Theatre – Review
Hilarious and chaotic, it evokes the fun of the original novel with great results.

An outdoors production south of the river that outshines the West End, this transformation of Wagner’s well-known 19th Century opera will convert any theatre-phobe.

The Sequel, London Welsh Centre – Review
A great choice for a humorous night out even if it is lacking in its central plotline at times. Guaranteed to make you chuckle!
