A Midsummer’s Night Dream – The Dream, Brockley Jack Theatre – Review
Top acting and visually bewitching moments, making this an approachable Shakespeare for all audiences. Not to be missed.
-
Belfast Boy, Etcetera Theatre – Review
An interesting centre character and a fast-paced script hold this play together nicely, but it feels like a small part of a larger piece.
-
Static, The Space – Review
This is an entertaining and sensitive look at the millennial generation, but it is somehow less than the sum of its parts.
-
Shiver, Watford Palace – Review
Themes of love, death, loss, grief and the place of religious faith in the lives of this bereaved family are beautifully explored in this well-crafted play.
-
Sun, St Leonard’s Church – Review
This is a well put together production from the writing to the direction to the performances, that has positioned itself to appeal to a very specific taste in theatre and art.
-
Running on Empty, Soho Theatre – Review
A mesmerising and powerful play about a woman’s devastating loss expressed through dance and music.
-
A Midsummer Night’s Dream – The Nightmare, Brockley Jack Theatre – Review
An interesting take on Shakespeare transported to the First World War—it’s both ethereal and haunting.
-
Ham, The Space – Review
The actor in this one-man show was very good, but nothing really happened beyond the beginning of the play and I never understood why the character was bringing us on this adventure with him.

Matryoshka’s Journey, Baron’s Court Theatre – Review
A worthy piece of experimental theatre, inventively directed and amusing overall, but slightly let down by some difficult changeovers and occasional rushed acting.
