Glitz and glamour abound.

This was my first visit to Above The Stag’s latest premises, and I think it’s the slickest building they’ve inhabited to date. It’s still under railway arches with regular distracting rumbles from the trains, but there’s a large bar area to accommodate waiting audiences, and the main theatre (there’s also a studio space now) is well-designed with a nice stage;seating ratio. Having been a patron of the venue since it actually was above The Stag pub in Victoria, I’m always ...

Efficient revival of a lightweight gay love story

Delightful musical rom-com with an instantly loveable cast.

A theatre with a charming sense of community; a sense that everybody is made to feel welcome here. This is a great night out for the theatre’s target audience, their friends and allies.

A side-splittingly humorous and touching look at LGBT culture and relationships.

Pros: A fascinating and funny play in a tight, intimate venue, hidden under the Vauxhall Arches. Cons: For some, even if the subject matter doesn’t put you off, the rumbling of the trains overhead might just. Some plays just make no sense on paper. Who sits down thinking, “I know, let’s turn my biography of a barely known nineteenth-century homosexual prostitute into a play, and better yet, let’s make it a musical”? Thankfully, though, that seems just the thought process ...

A rip-roaring pantomime packed with innuendo and some extremely close-to-the-bone gags, so (knowingly) bad that it was good

A worthy venue for LGBT writing, sadly this play doesn’t live up to its engaging set up.

An hilarious romp through the ups and downs of a theatre company with a little bit of nudity to keep you happy. What more could you want?
