Hedda, Sutton House – Review
This skillful adaption of Ibsen’s masterpiece provides a sumptuous night out in one of London’s top heritage houses. Hedda’s private anguish is portrayed though an exquisite use of film, photography, the digital space and live theatre.

(Merely) Romeo & Juliet, The Cockpit Theatre – Review
It is nice to see a new approach to Shakespeare, but this production slightly misses the mark.

Urinetown, St. James Theatre – Review
Urinetown brings to life a dystopian future in superb neo-noir steampunk style - a cult theatrical classic in the making.

Jane Eyre, Rosemary Branch Theatre – Review
The closest thing to reading the novel yourself, this is an intelligent and faithful adaptation which could become a classic in its own right.

A play that puts the progress of women’s rights into perspective.

The Eradication of Schizophrenia in Western Lapland, Shoreditch Town Hall – Review
This performance is a boxless 3D jigsaw puzzle where an errant 3 year old has swallowed pieces at random. It revels in confusing you ,which is stimulating, but also aggravating at times due to a lack of enforced context.
