Review: 35MM: A MUSICAL EXHIBITION, Phoenix Arts Club
by Clementine Scott - Jul 8, 2025

“Who cares what happened after?” This is the question posed by song cycle 35MM, which takes its structure from a series of photographs, each projected onto the back wall, and giving us a musical insight into a single moment, where nothing beforehand or afterwards matters – a breakup, the tender beginnings of romance, or on one occasion a parent wrangling their Satanic baby.

Review: CABLE STREET, Southwark Playhouse
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Feb 27, 2024

To say Cable Street has been highly anticipated would be a gross understatement: it’s basically unheard of for a new, Off West End musical to completely sell out its run before a single review has been published.
