Review: SAUL at LONDON HANDEL FESTIVAL, Sinfonia Smith Square
by Louise Penn - Feb 19, 2026

Opening the London Handel Fetsival, this flawless presentation of Saul was a celebration of Handel that set the tone of the performances to follow. The acoustics in the hall were exceptional, with clear enunciation throughout and a sense of occasion.

Review: SWEETMEATS, Bush Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 14, 2026

Delicious comic timing carries the humour with an effervescent pace, while the cultural aspect of the script adds a bittersweet layer to it. It’s genuinely funny, with a quick sting in the tail. Natasha Kathi-Chandra’s direction is unhurried, leaning into Khan’s deliberate restraint in building the relationship. The placid speed of the narrative development nearly tips into self-indulgence, and the two-hour-and-a-half-with-an-interval running time might be frankly unnecessary for what the plot is, but the production is endearing enough to make us neglect its downsides.

Review: HMS Pinafore, London Coliseum

A revival of Cal McCrystal’s 2021 production, HMS Pinafore at the London Coliseum charms with wit, a stunning cast, and gorgeous Victorian designs.

Review: DANIEL'S HUSBAND, Marylebone Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Dec 10, 2025

We’re in a room straight out of the pages of Architectural Digest, two couples sipping Scotch on mid-century chaise longues. Like most plays set entirely in someone’s living room, though, fault lines amidst the middle-class domestic bliss soon emerge.

Review: ITCH, Opera Holland Park
by Franco Milazzo - Jun 4, 2025

Opera Holland Park has never shied away from audacious programming, and with Jonathan Dove’s Itch, it plunges boldly into radioactive territory—literally. Originally seen here in 2023 and based on Simon Mayo’s YA novel about a teenage element hunter who stumbles upon a potentially world-altering discovery, this opera bubbles with energy, invention and musical firepower.

Review: NOISES OFF, New Wolsey Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - May 8, 2025

As someone who first got into the world of British Comedy through Mischief Theatre, particularly The Play That Goes Wrong, it has been quite the fascinating journey to travel back in time through the history of British comedy, including the iconic Noises Off, which has opened at New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich. This is a new production of the play, which was written by Michael Frayn in 1982, now directed by Douglas Rintoul in collaboration with Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and Theatre by the Lake.

In Praise of Front of House Staff
by Gary Naylor - Jan 6, 2025

Theatre likes to say thank you. Whether it’s a standing ovation on opening night or one a little more spontaneously given up, a seemingly weekly awards presentation (or are there even more than 52 ceremonies these days?) or those sheepish nods of the head from the orchestra, hitherto half-buried in the pit. Yes, as the definitive showbiz song has it, “Nowhere could you get that happy feeling / When you are stealing / That extra bow”.

Review: THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, London Coliseum
by Michael Higgs - Dec 3, 2024

Sarah Tipple brings the comedic opera to life with gloriously ridiculous period costumes, an outstanding cast and an abstract set that mirrors the plot’s absurdism with precision.

Review: FLY MORE THAN YOU FALL, Southwark Playhouse

Super singing the highlight of a new musical that speaks to Gen Z loud and clear. Read the review.

Review: ONE OF THE BOYS, The Playground Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 4, 2024

Tim Edge’s sophomore project is described as a nail-biting show that uncovers the dark truths of vicious competition and ferocious career moves. The production over-promises and under-delivers. It’s not only plagued by a debilitating case of women-written-by-a-man, it’s also predictable and formulaic.
