The Merry Wives of Windsor, Coram’s Fields – Review
The seventies theme and musical numbers give fresh life to Shakespeare’s rib-tickling revenge comedy.
-
The Hackney Volpone, Rose Lipman Building – Review
A lively and inclusive adaptation of a classic play.
-
Son of Man, Museum of the Order of Saint John – Review
This new piece from Cut String Theatre, performed in a truly unique environment, is well worth seeing.
-
Up From Paradise, New Wimbledon Studio Theatre – Review
Successful premiere of a rib-tickling comedy musical from one of America's greatest playwrights.
-
Henry V, The Rose Theatre – Review
A rather funny version of Henry V with big performances from a small cast.
-
Gulf, Camden People’s Theatre – Review
A highly literate examination of family relationships that will strike a chord in all of us.
-
Playground, The Horse and Stables – Review
An evening of seven very different mini-plays on the theme of deception. Not for someone looking for a comprehensive story to get lost in, but very interesting to see a subject matter manipulated in so many inventive ways.

The Tulip Tree: The Love Story of Enoch Powell, Drayton Arms Theatre – Review
An engaging play that doesn’t quite live up to what it promises.
-
Beyond Caring, The Yard Theatre – Review
A funny and, unsettlingly truthful exploration of isolation and instability in modern times.

17, Finborough Theatre – Review
This is a relationship drama that veers too often into the realm of soap opera. Possibly with another draft or two it will find a more natural shape and set its focus where it deserves to be.
