Dead At Last, No More Air, Camden People’s Theatre – Review
This black comedy about the death of theatre may be of interest to some fringe theatre enthusiasts, but is difficult to engage with and may leave general audiences with a headache.

A Trick To Catch The Old One, Rose Theatre – Review
This excellent production shows that Elizabethan/Jacobean theatre isn’t limited to Shakespeare. Jolly good fun!
-
The Belinda Tree, St. James Theatre – Review
A moving storyline, brought to life by imaginative direction and top class performances from an up-and-coming cast.

Richard III, The Cockpit – Review
Smoothly spoken and well paced, this production overcomes its weaknesses with powerful performances.

Yesterday’s Tomorrow, Drayton Theatre – Review
A mixed bag - the portrayal of a gay relationship in the army worked, but the portrayal of war left a lot to be desired.

Gone to Get Milk and Women’s Tales, Blue Elephant Theatre – Review
A beautiful show that provides an accessible way into modern dance and physical theatre for those less familiar with the genres.
-
De Profundis, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
A haunting and beautiful new musical based on a sorrowful letter Oscar Wilde wrote while imprisoned for homosexuality.
-
Alice in Wonderland, The Selkirk Upstairs – Review
Whimsical, colourful, and entertaining! A charming production that is fun for both kids and parents.

A Small Family Business, National Theatre – Review
Overall the play seems torn between making a statement and being funny, but the great performances and set easily make up for that.

Foreplay, King’s Head Theatre – Review
You don’t have to be a brainiac to enjoy this psychosexual thriller. An entertaining look at the private lives and ideas of some of the greatest minds of the postwar central European generation.
