Review: The Three Bears, Half Moon Theatre
A subversive, but joyfully anarchic remix of the Goldilocks story, celebrating chosen families through inventive physical comedy, tender chaos and theatrical flair.

Review: Instructions on How to Be Alone, Centre 151
Through a young person’s crisis, this show points out how our current systems fail to deliver critical mental health support with character and wicked irony - it just needs to breathe.

Review: The Firework-Maker’s Daughter, Polka Theatre
A show of two halves that initially struggles to leave the pages of the book, but ultimately takes off, scatterings sparks of exciting, imaginative colour and puppetry.
-
Review: All My Sons, Wyndham’s Theatre
An impeccable and emotionally affecting adaption of Miller’s classic
-
Review: Marking Time, Sadler’s Wells
The transition from a quiet, intimate reflection on identity, to a fluid, playful water inspired trio culminating in a dark, ritualistic finale makes for an outstanding evening with exceptional choreography, striking visuals, and sublime live music.

Review: Museum of Us, Canada Water Theatre
An earnest and heartfelt consideration of what it is to be British for young people in London.
-
Review: Dreamgirls, The Bridewell Theatre
A powerful and soulful rendition of the Broadway classic that emphasises life backstage.

Review: The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return, Half Moon Theatre
A gripping, high-energy blend of lyrical narration and dynamic ensemble work that portrays the vulnerability, violence, and hope young people experience.

Review: Sophie’s Surprise Party, Underbelly Boulevard Soho
A thrilling night of circus skills packaged as incoherent house party nostalgia.

Review: The Good Landlord, Omnibus Theatre
Served an eviction notice from a mould-infested flat? This absurdist piece attempts to deal with the issues but falls flat, to coin a phrase. Alas, a missed opportunity.
