Review: The Rite of Spring/Mirror, Sadler’s Wells
An inventive double bill that brings AI and live motion capture to contemporary dance, yet is underwhelming in its execution.
-
Review: Welcome To Pemfort, Soho Theatre
Big questions with deep empathy and a spectacular performance from Sean Delaney
-
Review: My Brother’s A Genius, National Youth Theatre
A grime-fuelled, raw, neurodivergent sibling story.
-
Review: Body & Soul, Sadler’s Wells
choreographer de jour Crystal Pite and snappy newcomer Kameron N. Saunders beguiled me. Add the English National Ballet, and it is almost a fait accompli.
-
Review: Living, Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse
A world premier presenting dozens of slices of ordinary life over five decades. The writing and performances are excellent.
-
Review: Takımyıldızları / Constellations, Arcola Theatre
Stripped back, minimalist two-hander.
-
Review: RUTH, Wilton’s Music Hall
A strong central performance cannot save this show from its lack of depth and structural weaknesses.
-
Review: Where There Is No Time, Seven Dials Playhouse
A high-fashion drama that gets lost in the big picture.
-
Review: Choir Of Man, New Wimbledon Theatre
A slick, crowd-pleasing pub musical with strong vocals and staging, but its drink-led audience interaction, laddish tone and lack of story leave it feeling contrived.

Review: Phoenix Rising: Bar Staff Takeover Cabaret, Phoenix Arts Club
An inspired idea that celebrates the talent behind the bar and despite mixed results is an entertaining and admirable fundraiser
