Review: Dancing Shoes, Traverse Theatre
In a time of seemingly pervasive toxic masculinity, Dancing Shoes offers a joyful vision of male friendships, solidarity, and the delight of sharing one’s true self.

Review: Never Tell Me The Odds, Old Red Lion Theatre
A thoughtful reflection on the risks and rewards of connecting with others. This valuable lesson is taught by companions both real and imaginary.

Review: Boys in the Buff, Golden Goose Theatre
A cheeky, high-energy musical revue promoting body positivity, with strong performances and clever music, but with ultimately repetitive ideas.

Review: The Signalman, Drayton Arms Theatre
This two-person Dickens adaptation features a detailed but claustrophobic design and despite obvious effort the story is muddled and unclear.

Review: Cinderella and the Matzo Ball, JW3

Unashamedly silly reworking of the classic horror novel into a musical romance – entertaining, funny and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

Review: The Mask Policy, Hen and Chickens Theatre
An enjoyable, funny play that interrogates the absurdities of the workplace through the notion of hiding one's true self and great physical comedy
