Review: THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD, starring Nicola Coughlan and Siobhán McSweeney
by Cindy Marcolina - December 12, 2025
Considered the first Irish “state of the nation” play, it’s now turned into a historical vignette imbued with hoarse black comedy. Its long placid rests are interrupted regularly by blazes of humorous energy: it entertains, but the pacing is slightly too slow for it to be full-on engaging. It’s a worthy curiosity.

A spellbinding love story about the beautiful Princess Aurora banished to a faraway land to keep her safe from the wicked sorceress, Carabosse who places an evil curse on her that if she pricked her finger before her 21st birthday, she would die!

Review: ALISON SPITTLE: BIG, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - December 12, 2025
Alison Spittle: BIG begins with Spittle entering the stage wearing a costume made out of colourful loofahs, before pulling it off to reveal a sequined outfit underneath. But this isn’t just a costume reveal - Spittle confesses to the audience that, while she is still fat (and has been since she was eight), she has recently lost a considerable amount of weight. BIG is about not only the weight loss journey, but Spittle’s relationship with her body over the years.

Review: THE RED SHOES, Sadler's Wells Theatre
by Mica Blackwell - December 12, 2025
I couldn't help but get swept away by The Red Shoes. A rich blend of romantic storytelling and cinema, this production showcases the best Matthew Bourne has to offer as a love letter to ballet in its purest (and most haunting) form. If you're unable to find a production of The Nutcracker this holiday season, a trip to Sadler's Wells will more than suffice.
