Review: SPACE EXPLORERS: THE ISS EXPERIENCE, Eclipso
The most common question people ask me about immersive theatre — right after “do I need to wear a costume?” and “is there a bar?” — is usually something along the lines of “What does ‘immersive’ mean and isn’t everything immersive?” To cover the second part first: yes, everythi
Review: BBC PROMS: PROG ROCK: A FANFARE FOR THE COMMON MAN, Royal Albert Hall
Finally, prog gets its Prom.
Review: BBC PROMS: FIRST NIGHT OF THE PROMS 2026, Royal Albert Hall
If the Last Night is about waving Union Jacks until arms ache, the First Night had some of that feeling too — albeit a different flag.
Review: LA FILLE DU REGIMENT, Royal Ballet And Opera
All's fair in love and war — at least until the hero storms in on a tank.
Review: SHEAR MADNESS, The Mill At Sonning
Move over Punchdrunk: the longest running immersive drama in the world has arrived in the UK.
Review: THE LADYBOYS OF BANGKOK: FULL MOON, Sabai Pavilion
Twenty-eight years ago, The Ladyboys of Bangkok made a brief appearance at what was then the Queen's Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue (now the Sondheim, which has committed itself to Les Misérables with a fervour that makes Swifties look fickle).
Review: I PURITANI, Royal Ballet And Opera
Thirty-four years is a long time to leave an opera in the attic, and I puritani has spent most of that period gathering dust for good reason.
Review: VENUS & ADONIS, Barbican Theatre
Putting on something which is so sexy, sensuous and deeply erotic in the middle of a heatwave could be asking for trouble, yet this production of Shakespeare’s Venus & Adonis justifies the gamble, turning the Barbican’s The Pit into a crucible of raw, mythological desire.
Review: SINATRA THE MUSICAL, Aldwych Theatre
The stories about Francis Albert Sinatra are endless.
Review: THE MAGICIANS TABLE, The Vaults
Death, it turns out, is an excellent alibi for a party, even one being held in your honour.
Review: THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, Royal Ballet And Opera
Mae West famously asked, 'Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?' Well, at the beginning of the relationship, he will no doubt be very happy to see you.
Review: COSÌ FAN TUTTE, Opera Holland Park
There’s a certain neat irony at the heart of this.
Review: GIFFORDS CIRCUS: WATERFIELD, Chiswick House & Gardens
There is a moment, somewhere between the knife-thrower's insane grin and Brian the Goose making his entrance with the unruffled authority of a minor aristocrat, when you simply have to give in to the magic.
Review: BLACK COMEDY, Orange Tree Theatre
There is exactly one joke in Peter Shaffer's 1965 farce: when the lights come on, the characters are in the dark.
Review: GENTLEMAN JACK, Sadler's Wells
At this point in the history of humanity, a ballet translated from screen to stage or built around a real person is more likely to raise eyebrows than expectations.
Review: YAMATO THE DRUMMERS OF JAPAN: HITO NO CHIKARA (THE POWER OF HUMAN STRENGTH), Peacock Theatre
Drummers are a particular breed.
Review: SABRAGE, Lafayette
Cabaret-circus-champagne extravaganza Sabrage has been refreshed just in time to lift our hearts in this sorry hour.
Review: ALIBI: DEAD AIR, Theatre Deli
With yet another highly-anticipated series of The Celebrity Traitors on the horizon, entire streaming channels dedicated to murder mysteries and absolutely no shortage of true crime podcasts (and TV shows about true crime podcasts), it appears we live in a nation completely insatiable when it comes
Review: CHAT NOIR, The Lost Estate
A band of bohemians pitching up in Kensington would normally have the locals reaching for a bottle of smelling salts.
Review: MIDGITTE BARDOT: SHOOTING FROM BELOW, Southbank Centre
As the name suggests, Midgitte Bardot is physically short albeit not short on ideas, impact, or charisma.
