This heartfelt exploration of grief and personal identity has strong elements, but there is room to grow.

Laughing Matters, St James Theatre – Review
A spectacular and hilarious showcase of cabaret numbers and Celia Imrie’s undeniable talent

A mixed bag: strong performances teetering on top of weaker production elements.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Rockwell House – Review
A fresh portrayal of a classic play; great fun for everyone.

Ladylogue!, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
Insights into the workings of the female mind. Funny, poignant, dark and just plain worrying at times (Phil Collins a sex symbol???). To be appreciated and enjoyed by everyone , male and female.

Ever After is an Awfully Long Time, The Phoenix Artist Club – Review
A great idea with potential but needs more development.

Dogfight, Southwark Playhouse – Review
A classic tale of young lives torn apart by a needless war with great songs to boot.

Spoofing for Gordon, The Hen and Chickens Theatre – Review
An eye-catching story that suffered from awkward writing and limp production.

This skilful revival of a British faery opera inspired by Celtic mythology is a centenary production well worth seeing.

No Take Backs, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A dark comedy with absurd leanings that presents a good example of Camden Fringe Festival fare.
