A highly literate examination of family relationships that will strike a chord in all of us.

This black comedy about the death of theatre may be of interest to some fringe theatre enthusiasts, but is difficult to engage with and may leave general audiences with a headache.

If you enjoy new and unusual theatre this will be right up your street, but it is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea!

The concept and the tale are both interesting and engaging, however the over abundance of literary devices and the lack of real emotion in the delivery of the character left me cold. I simply didn’t believe her.

A visual feast of excitement and eccentricity: rough round the edges but on the whole it worked well and was totally in keeping with its subject matter.

This show will astound you. Whether it’s the immersive set, divine rhythmic ebbs and flow, the very truthful basis of the show or the raw shock of unfolding events.

Andrew Curtis, Will Howells, Mike Carter, Joseph Lidster, Guleraana Mir, Jo Pockett, Polly Churchill and Kate Webster Directed by Neil Sheppeck, Chris Lawson, Gavin Dent, Richard Jacques, Saraha Ford, Madelaine Moore, Bryony Thomas and Laura Kim ★★★ Pros: Every short play was witty and had moments of light and dark. Having female writers and directors with an all-male cast (and vice versa) made for some interesting perspectives. Cons: Some of the plays fell into the trap of becoming “message plays” ...

Written and performed by Louise Orwin ★★★★  Pros: The serious and contemporary subject matter that affects all of us.  Cons: The show dragged at times, becoming repetitive and overstating points.  Our Verdict: A timely, powerful performance exploring the brutal digital world of teenage girls.  Courtesy of Louise Orwin The question “am I pretty or am I ugly?” is the premise of Louise Orwin’s Pretty Ugly, which explores a disturbing online trend in which teenage girls post videos and photos of ...

Presented by Dirty Market Theatre★★★ Pros: Original, brilliantly funny, macabre, dark, bizarre, fantastical – get the idea? Cons: The plot is difficult to follow in parts but just go with the flow; you’re in other-worldly realms here in Hoxton. Our Verdict: Imagine Tim Burton directing an episode of Emmerdale whilst on an acid trip. Just go along with an open mind and let Dirty Market create their wonderful havoc.  Credit: Jemima Yong This Dirty Market production is in association with Camden ...
