Marianna Meloni responds to an evening at the Italian Cultural Institute with celebrated cinema and theatre director Marco Filiberti.

Serious musical talent wrapped up in off-the-wall daftness.

Pros: Imaginative use of space, props and movement. A show that will make you think. Cons: Some may find the themes difficult to engage with. A bit shallow in places. Nestled above the welcoming Bedford pub, a stone’s throw from Balham tube, lies Theatre N16. This was my first visit and I would welcome the chance to return.

A slightly sozzled Friday night audience would be the best group to respond to the sexually fraught narrative of Harriet and Molly: two characters who journey through The Throes of Modern Courtship and step out of reality into the pages of the Gothic novel ...

A thoroughly enjoyable Christmas play suitable for all of the family whose performers wow with song, puppetry and more!

A pantomime that will appeal to everyone, even those who are not convinced by the genre.

Some 13 years after the EMD Granada cinema closed to the public it has finally reopened, giving the people of Walthamstow and afar a lively 1930’s inspired hangout. It is now the home of Mirth, Marvel and Maud offering an eclectic assortment of music, food and theatre. What could be any better? Being a lover of all things ...

Bold and intelligent, this play is an experience unlike any other though a few aspects and ideas fall flat.

Perfect theatre for those who enjoy hauntingly beautiful love stories.
