Review: American Psycho, Almeida Theatre
This sleek revival is undeniably chic, but its satire lacks bite and its score struggles to amaze.

Review: The League of Improv, Phoenix Arts Centre
With a top-tier guest comedian, an unusually funny audience and an ideal venue, the stars align for this talented improv team’s latest instalment.

Review: Call Yourself An Irishman?, Jack Studio Theatre
A charming and stirring show about modern Irish identity

Review: The Highgate Vampire, The Cockpit
As absurd and amusing as this story is, what’s equally as crazy is that it is based on true events... well, sort of.

Review: The Tempest, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
Full of dangerous gambits and forays into farce, Tim Crouch's The Tempest is a daring exercise in meta-theatrical theory.

Review: Mates, Hen and Chickens Theatre
An intelligent exploration of the art of making theatre, highlighting a full range of genres. Presented alongside effective character drama and good entertainment along the way.

Review: Francisco de Nata, Soho Theatre
Francisco de Nata is a reminder of how powerful softness can be. It asks very little of its audience yet gives back so much.

Review: Fish Bowl, Peacock Theatre
One paper-thin wall between loneliness and connection. Fish Bowl turns everyday city life into sublime, silent chaos.

Review: Cable Street,Marylebone Theatre
A heartfelt and detailed portrayal of a vital part of London’s history, with an exciting score, compelling songs and excellent performances.

Review: Hamlet, Polka Theatre
A smart, playful and musically rich Hamlet that distils Shakespeare’s biggest questions into an hour of inventive, child-centred storytelling without ever underestimating its young audience.
