Review: BLUE, Seven Dials Playhouse PhotoReview: BLUE, Seven Dials Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - March 09, 2024

It’s easy to understand why Blue garnered excellent reviews and a Fringe First Award for their run in Edinburgh last year. It’s an intense, alarming, carefully eloquent, and raw achievement. It’s a reactive and reactionary piece of theatre, real and terrible, relevant and urgent. If all that d...

by Student Blogger: Mya Bodnick - January 28, 2024

Truthfully, the never-ending hustle of a theatre student is completely reflective of the industry itself. In contrast, at least athletes are provided an off-season where training alters in intensity and cadence as they partake in maintenance and recovery mode. However, a life without breaks is simpl...

It’s good fun, but the last half hour of the 90 interval-less minutes drags. The dissection of their personalities and attitudes towards society doesn’t really go anywhere, but it’s an amusing, hyperbolic, melodramatic cut-out of a pretentious dispute between well-off fantoccini made to detona...
