The Fat Man’s Wife, Canal Café Theatre – Review
The show delivers what you want out of a Williams play, with panache and charm to spare.

Superior Donuts, Southwark Playhouse – Review
An urban drama that brilliantly portrays the complexities and greatness of everyday life stories. There could be an Arthur and Franco behind the counter of any donut shop.

The Peculiar Tale of Pablo Picasso and the Mona Lisa, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre – Review
An exciting tale, featuring an exciting cast. Fuelled with absinth, women and artistic uniqueness, this is a hard story to tell. Fourth Monkey does it with such flair, intelligence and wit it’s extremely hard to imagine anyone able to do…

It’s OK, It’s Only Temporary, Battersea Arts Centre – Review
A fun yet sorrowful piece of experimental theatre, inventively performed and amusing overall. An excellent add-on to the preceding, longer show Flâneurs.
