Not spectacular but funny and with enough surprising turns to keep you entertained.

This existential musical does not live up to its potential.

A challenging and interesting idea courageously performed, if not to everyone’s taste.

A play that’s interesting in parts, but would benefit from fleshing out some of the characters.

A thoughtful and boundary pushing contemplation on ageing, however this piece focuses very heavily on the heavier side of the story.

A great family musical, much like a summer pantomime. It’s music and lyrics are done justice by the Finchley and Friern Barnet Operatic Society however there is room for improvement for this gang.

Stringed puppets and fine music tell a wondrous story of a small boy’s friendship with a magical balloon. Adults and children alike will enjoy this piece for its simple beauty and playful innocence.

A thought-provoking piece that, despite its flaws, is worth your time.
