Review: The Washington Ballet’s GISELLE at Harman Hall
by Audrey Cahak - March 04, 2026

Review: THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO at Goodman Theatre
by Rachel Weinberg - March 03, 2026

Review: CROCODILE FEVER, Arcola Theatre
by Clementine Scott - October 24, 2025
During the interval at Crocodile Fever’s London premiere, we’re all rushed out of the Arcola auditorium a little quicker than we would be normally. This is because the set needs to be doused in blood in preparation for the Tarantino-esque revenge fantasy in the second act, where two sisters deal...

Review: AFTER THE ACT, Royal Court
by Clementine Scott - May 24, 2025
To pin an entire show on one piece of local government legislation may seem an implausible move at first glance. But After The Act has made it happen, which is testament to the seismic impact and notoriety of its subject: Section 28, the Thatcher-era clause that, until 2003, forbade local authoritie...
Review: YOU ON THE MOORS NOW at The Players
by Christopher Verleger - May 14, 2025
