Review: Space, St Martin-in-the-Fields
Space by Luxmuralis has rich material – moon landings, wormholes, psychedelia – but needs a stronger point of view to encourage cosmic introspection.

Review: Dr Faustus, The Courtyard Theatre
An engaging version of the classic tale that keeps the message intact throughout its modernised adaptation.
-
Review: The Seafarer, Putney Arts Theatre
An excellent cast does justice to McPherson's tender script.
-
Review: Ruby’s Worry, Polka Theatre
A gentle, musically polished adaptation for 3-7s that charms younger children best, but feels dramatically underpowered and lacking in tension.
-
Review: Othello, Network Theatre
A disconnected performance of a Shakespeare favourite.
-
Review: Too Small To Tell, Riverside Studios
An important and moving account of the ongoing repercussions for Weinstein’s lesser-known victims, and a powerful reminder of the lasting impact for anyone who feels their voice is “too small”.

A dramatic show with musical fireworks, dampened by some fundamental structural defects.
