Review: FIREBIRD, Southwark Playhouse
by Clementine Scott - Jul 15, 2026
The culture wars surrounding grooming gangs have never felt more poisonous. With the right-wing press champing at the bit to use organised child abuse as fodder for anti-immigrant narratives, and the details of how such abuse actually occurs hidden in the weeds of abandoned inquiries, there is something to be said for taking a step back and returning our focus to the lives of the young victims.

Review: A GHOST IN YOUR EAR, Hampstead Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Jan 9, 2026
Walking down an ominous red-lit corridor and being asked to put on over-ear headphones isn’t your typical start to a night at the theatre – but then A Ghost in Your Ear isn’t your typical play. Jamie Armitage’s second show as both writer and director (after last year’s An Interrogation) is a true horror piece, with ingenious use of binaural sound design.
