Review: Ballet Black – SHADOWS, Sadler’s Wells
A brilliant double bill by Ballet Black as they make their Sadler’s Wells debut.

Review: David Copperfield, Jermyn Street Theatre
This joyous, energetic, and inventive interpretation of the Dickens classic is a real pre-festive treat.

Review: Jobsworth, Park Theatre
A near-perfect comical commentary on capitalism – armed with a ratty dog.

Review: Doughnut Drive, Drayton Arms Theatre
A joyous buddy comedy-thriller that entertains throughout but excels even more in their final ‘heist’ scenes.

Review: Ian Smith: The Foot Spa Is Half Empty, Soho Theatre
A brilliantly inventive hour of well-observed stand-up, delivered with engaging energy and great comic timing.

Review: Sunny Afternoon, New Wimbledon Theatre
Not to be confused with Kinky Boots (despite the similar logos), Sunny Afternoon continues its tour in the land of its birth, although its journey is an unsteady one.

Review: Wicked Witches Panto – For Adults! Pleasance Theatre
The classic panto format is turned on its head in this queer extravaganza – a fierce, delightfully camp and clever retelling of the story of the Witches of Oz.

Review: Pressure 3, Playhouse East
A fun night, whether you’re interested in the mechanics of theatre or simply enjoy watching well-made, emotionally charged stories.

Review: Opera Highlights, Traverse Theatre – Edinburgh
For anyone tempted to think of opera as stuffy, remote or inaccessible, this production shows we might all have opera-sized feelings, even when trying to give a professional veneer at the office party

Review: Hysteria, Golden Goose Theatre
A story needing to be told that, with some refinement and greater character exploration, has great potential.
