Ed Rapley: The Self Trilogy, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A compassionate and recognisable look at how to deal with the difficulties of everyday life.
-
The Butterfly Lovers, Blue Elephant Theatre – Review
A charming, wholesome tale that needs just a bit more polishing.
-
Kingston 14, Theatre Royal Stratford East – Review
Not spectacular but funny and with enough surprising turns to keep you entertained.
-
Momo, Greenwich Theatre – Review
This existential musical does not live up to its potential.
-
How To Avoid Making An Entrance Of Yourself, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A challenging and interesting idea courageously performed, if not to everyone’s taste.
-
Almost Near, Finborough Theatre – Review
A play that’s interesting in parts, but would benefit from fleshing out some of the characters.
-
A Cure for Ageing, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A thoughtful and boundary pushing contemplation on ageing, however this piece focuses very heavily on the heavier side of the story.
-
Honk!, The Intimate Theatre – Review
A great family musical, much like a summer pantomime. It’s music and lyrics are done justice by the Finchley and Friern Barnet Operatic Society however there is room for improvement for this gang.
-
The Red Balloon, The Space – Review
Stringed puppets and fine music tell a wondrous story of a small boy’s friendship with a magical balloon. Adults and children alike will enjoy this piece for its simple beauty and playful innocence.

We Are Proud to Present…, Bush Theatre – Review
A thought-provoking piece that, despite its flaws, is worth your time.
