Review: Turn it Out with Tiler Peck & Friends, Sadler’s Wells
A showstopping showcase of immaculate talent from a leading light of dance.
-
Review: Game of Crones, Jacksons Lane
This show will have you in stitches but may leave you with a concussion.
-
Review: The Elizabeths, The Playground Theatre
An exciting premise that ends up feeling more like a history lesson than anything else.
-
Review: Children of the Night, Southwark Playhouse
A gloriously loud love letter to a place where clubbers once flocked from mining villages to escape and be who they wanted to be.
-
Review: The Exoplanets, Hackney Empire
A powerful performance by the City of London Sinfonia of new music composed in response to the discovery of Exoplanets, overshadowed by lengthy and unnecessary breaks for discussion.
-
Review: When We Were Us, Jack Studio Theatre
A well-intentioned exploration of abuse and friendship is undermined by an overcrowded script that muddles its message.
-
Review: Kish Kush: Traces of an Encounter, Polka Theatre
Playful, thoughtful and visually striking. A show that proves children’s theatre can tackle big ideas with grace and simplicity.
-
Review: Ancient Grease, The Vaults
A Grease‑in‑Greece parody with committed performances, but uneven comedy and execution that never fully realises its potential.
-
Review: Yentl, Marylebone Theatre
Part rom com, part fairytale, part theological rumination, part social critique, Yentl is a compelling, sometimes stressful watch
-
Review: Hung Dance: Push and Pull, Coronet Theatre
A sometimes playful, sometimes sinister exploration of a binary construct, through tai chi inspired dance.
