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.

Review: Practically Imperfect, OSO Arts Centre
A complicated relationship between a writer and her biggest creation. This could be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – maybe with a spoonful of sugar, next time.
