Review: Nosebleeds, The Glitch
A clever and quietly devastating exploration of identity and distance during conflict. Small theatre with a surprisingly strong pulse.

A complex look into friendship that is both funny and heart wrenching.

Review: Landscapes, Sadler’s Wells East
Less is more in a show which unites dance, light and music to create potent explorations of illusion and space.

Review: Witch Girl Summer, Lion and Unicorn Theatre
A play with truly magnificent production, let down by a fun script that merely teases, with the promise of so much more.

Review: Manic Street Creature, Kiln Theatre
This virtuoso performance of gig theatre impresses technically, but the amplification of trauma on such a broad canvas becomes tiring.

Review: Measure For Measure & Julius Caesar – Dirty Politics Double Bill, Golden Goose Theatre
An intriguing historical experiment that struggles to translate into compelling theatre.
-
Review: The Comfort Woman, Omnibus Theatre
A devastating solo performance with a beautiful score, exposing the truth behind wartime “comfort stations”.

A lovingly constructed comedy that celebrates Wales, intergenerational friendship, and Tom Jones.

A powerhouse performance from Beverley Knight makes Marie & Rosetta sing, even when the script holds it back.
