An enjoyable one woman production, with remarkable attention to detail and fun references throughout.

Fabulously flamboyant, wonderfully witty and above all an absolute smash hit.

With bubbles, tea parties, hearts and stolen tarts, this show indefinitely represents that they really are all mad here in Wonderland. A fun cast, a fantastic story and an incredible location!

Pros: At last a fairy tale to promote LGBTQ equality. Cons: Don’t expect elaborate set and costumes, but focus on the acting. Oval must be one of the cutest Underground stations in London.

The Merchant of Venice is a thrillingly tangible production full of community spirit.

A strong effort to challenge stereotypical theatre and provide a less comfortable viewing experience, favouring the apprehension and suspense it instils. Good performance built on a weaker foundation of plot.
