Review: THE GIFT, Citizen's Theatre


by Natalie O'Donoghue - December 13, 2025

Review: EVITA TOO, Southbank Centre


by Katie Kirkpatrick - December 13, 2025

Rollerskates, Elaine Page, ducks, puppets, corpses, puppet corpses, and a DJing Andrew Lloyd Webber. Evita Too is worlds away from the Jamie Lloyd hit that swept London this summer, but it has just as much to say, if not more....
