An inspired exploration into dementia that is a labour of love for all involved.

Three well-crafted and well-performed character studies by an accomplished writer.

A well-written and well-acted one-woman show. Rachael’s view of the world is endearing and uplifting. Her journey to womanhood has many touching moments.

Well-written, beautifully performed, and a good mix of comedy and drama.

Utterly disconcerting theatre; you will leave in shock. The good thing is that the play so abstract that all interpretations are valid!

The Upstanding Member is a really funny play that had the whole audience in fits of laughter throughout!

Cons: Some of the delivery could be tightened and the lighting might benefit from some more subtlety, but these are minor criticisms in a very solid production. Our verdict: For fans of American Psycho, The Rules is a must-see. For everyone else, it is highly recommended. It ...

Patrice EtienneDirected by Rikki Henry★★★★ Pros: A good mix of humour and emotion, with a truly accessible storyline. Cons: Parts of it were a little slow, not helped by a boiling hot auditorium! Our Verdict: A raw and energetic production, with neat and innovative staging. Courtesy of Martyna Przybsz  I love a lot of things. I love wearing skinny jeans. I love the feel of moss on my face. I also love lying. But being in love – that’s a ...
