Five young lives intertwine in the streets of New York. Our characters long for love, independence and self-affirmation in this musical production that is palatable but not memorable.

Pros: The original and effective approach to two well known political situations. Both actors can be truly hysterical with their clownish acting. Cons: Although successful at exposing situations, there’s no real analysis and the shows don’t go into much detail on the problems. Bertrand (Bert) Lesca and Nasi Voutsas have a special chemistry. They have been working together only since 2015, yet to see them on stage you would think they had known each other since nursery school. A talented duo ...

Pros: Fun choreography, daft puppetry, huge energy. Cons: Heavy on smut, light on good songs. When Much the Miller’s son gets lost in Sherwood Forest, salvation comes at a price: the ragtag bunch of men who come to his rescue have a tiresome habit of breaking into song and dance. Because this is Nottingham, where life is a musical and everyone knows their lines, their steps and their place. Anyway, a few escapades later, and having won the hand of ...

Do you like Shakespeare? Do you like booze? Do you like panto?  Answer yes to all three, then why not join us in raising a glass in celebration that Shit-faced Shakespeare are heading back to Leicester Square Theatre very soon. Because anyone who knows Shitfaced-Shakespeare know full well what to expect; Shakespeare with added booze and just a little panto! And make that two very large glasses, because why do one show when you can do two; The Merchant of ...

Shining a light on India’s pre-Bollywood queen of entertainment, Gauhar Jaan is an original, funny and exciting debut play, albeit with a rushed ending and some scene change issues. It has rightly sold out its entire run already.

The After School Club showcase serious potential that should be nurtured and encouraged in this funny and big hearted play about love.

Extremely entertaining, hilarious and interesting show about the struggles of setting a comedy workshop in the heart of the Jenin refugee camp in Palestine.

Pros: Kuran Dohil’s professional stage debut is brilliant and side-splittingly funny. She captivates the audience with her powerful stage presence. Cons: Does well to avoid sweeping generalisations, but includes some religious stereotypes, especially in the portrayal of convert Simon. Guleraana Mir’s play Coconut tells the story of twenty-something Rumi, a Muslim ‘coconut’, brown on the outside, white on the inside. Rumi is a pork-scratchings-and-vodka kind of girl, instead of the modest girl her family and community want her to be. Just when she thinks she’ll never find ...

A realistic representation of not often exposed social and familial concerns, this relevant modern drama is a must see.

An intriguing companion piece to an earlier play makes its point with clarity, providing a sobering conclusion to the most disturbing of storylines.
