Review: Sit or Kneel, The Other Palace
An ambitious but underdeveloped production with a lot of heart.
-
Review: This Little Earth, Arcola Theatre
This absolute gem of a show delivers up a (snow)storm, in a deceptively clever, superbly surreal contemplation of the confusing world of fake news and conspiracy theories.

Review: Bloody Mary and the Nine Day Queen, Union Theatre
Bold but uneven, Bloody Mary and the Nine Day Queen suffers from clumsy direction and clunky writing, yet is still worthy of celebration by musical theatre fans.
-
Review: Crocodile Fever, Arcola Theatre
A dark comedy set in The Troubles that is both shocking and gripping. Female rage takes the forefront as two sisters reconnect and enact revenge.
-
Review: Little Brother, Soho Theatre
A tender portrait of care, exhaustion and love filled with dark humour
-
Review: The Monkey’s Paw, The Hope Theatre
A classic ghost story beautifully presented.
-
Review: Hot Mess, Southwark Playhouse
A big success for Hot Mess
-
Review: The Secret Garden, Tower Theatre
Edwardian perennial The Secret Garden flowers once again as The Tower Theatre Company sow the seeds of a new stage adaptation. This community-based ensemble nurtures a charming retelling that blooms with garlands but lacks gothic grit.
-
Review: Deciphers, Coronet Theatre
A deeply generous contemporary dance piece exploring parallel stories of the immigrant experience.
-
Review: New Frontiers: Trailblazers, Hackney Empire
An orchestra without a conductor blends Telemann, Rebel, and Vivaldi with dance and storytelling to celebrate the energy and intimacy of live orchestral music, enveloping the audience in a symbiotic relationship.
