Review: A Merry Misrule, Battersea Arts Centre
An atmospheric and beautifully performed wander through a mythic world...

Review: Snowflake, Polka Theatre
A tender, quietly nostalgic Christmas story that drifts along pleasantly, even if it never fully lands with the magic it promises.
-
Review: Fireside Tales, Punchdrunk Enrichment Stores
A gentle, immersive storytelling experience that glows rather than sparks
-
Review: Peter Pan, Greenwich Theatre
Peter Pan walks this plank with aplomb, sneaking a surprising degree of lewdness into an otherwise quite traditional family-friendly production.
-
Review: The Snow Queen – A Woodland Adventure, Albany, Deptford
A perfectly child-centred, frosty and festive adventure with friendship at its warm heart
-
Review: Univers, The Barbican
A simply beautiful multisensory experience of joyful wonder that allows the very young to playfully explore their universe .
-
Review: Stick Man, Bloomsbury Theatre
Some imaginative touches bring this children’s book to life onstage, but expanding a 32-page picture book into an hour of theatre proves an overly thorny challenge, where other similar adaptations have thrived.

Review: Mountains and Seas – Song of Today, Omnibus Theatre
A beautifully bewildering, swirling vortex of challenging thinking and excellent performance that ultimately becomes overwhelming
-

Our favourite piggy is back with a show full of upbeat, festive fun – a great family choice for the holiday season.
