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.
-
Review: Precipice, New Diorama Theatre
Good music and a strong cast let down by script and lyrics
-
Review: Drifting, Southwark Playhouse
Strong female performances and atmospheric staging stand out, although the script’s vagueness can leave much for the audience to interpret.

Review: Taniko, Theatro Technis
Voilà! Festival ships over a tale of sisterhood, sacrifice and gentrification, in the shifting patter of Greek from Athens to London. The social drama should translate fairly easily, considering the common ground and universal themes.
-
Review: Continuity, Cockpit Theatre
An unbridled dystopian drama, full of ideas but lacking plausibility and emotional truth.
-
Review: Into The Hairy by S-E-D // Sharon Eyal, Sadler’s Wells
Have you ever wondered what the spiders in the corner of your room do when you blast some thumping techno? Sharon Eyal, Gai Behar, Koreless and eight dancers answer this oddly niche question.

Review: Rent, Bridewell Theatre
A heartfelt, energetic, creative show with a fantastic company of incredible performers
-
Review: You, Seven Dials Playhouse
A shattering exploration of forced adoption across decades and generations. With minimal staging and maximum emotional force, this intimate two-hander captures the grief, rage, and longing of parent and child torn apart by circumstance.
-
Review: Starfish, Bread and Roses Theatre
A thought-provoking and elegantly written drama about homelessness, morality, and compassion.
