Simon Ward reviews The Passion of the Playboy Riots at the Hen & Chickens Passion; playboy; riots. Probably best to put all these out of your mind. This is a cerebral meditation on many themes, perhaps more than can be accommodated in its scant 50 minute duration. A three-hander […]
Abigail Bryant reviews Lottery at the Pleasance Lottery starts out with potential and intrigue, but unfortunately loses it’s way and spirals into a production that is all bark and no bite. Unfortunately for all (especially the suited and hot-pink booted cast), the Pleasance theatre does not cater well […]
Charlotte Pegram reviews The Eisteddfod at The Etcetera Theatre, Camden This play by Australian playwright, Lally Katz, is part of a double bill of plays directed by Liz Arday. The other play, Dario Fo’s A Woman Alone, complements the first and offers the viewer an evening of absurdism and surrealism. […]
Abigail Bryant reviews Big Guns at the Yard Theatre Big Guns labels itself as a play about violence, but not in a conventional sense. This 70-minute production, written by Nina Segel and directed by Dan Hutton, explores violence in all of its vast and varied shapes, detailing how […]

Max Gill directs a cast of four at The Bunker, an atmospheric, subterraneous canvas which […]
Simon Ward reviews The Doppel Gang at Tristan Bates Theatre A word about the venue: it is tiny, hiding in plain sight in the heart of Theatreland, around the corner from The Mousetrap and within spitting distance of The Cursed Child. I had certainly never noticed it before. […]
Harriet Bignell reviews O’ Come All Ye Divas at Charing Cross Theatre From golden oldies like Barbra Streisand and Shirley Bassey to more modern divas like Adele and Lily Allen, Christina Bianco takes them all on in her performance of festive classics. Although an American YouTube sensation, Christina Bianco doesn’t […]
Mark Hil reviews Boys at The Lost Theatre Boys tells the story of a group of millennials struggling to come to terms with their place in the world; complex relationships, uncertain futures (or lack thereof) and ultimately the suicide of a friend. The play revolves around main character, […]
Short but not so sweet, The Mirror Never Lies is a musical about the power of beauty and the pangs of desire, but sadly fails to fully capture the swinging sixties of London. Based on the novel The Sweet Dove Died by Barbra Pym, it follows the tale […]
