Review: WEANS IN THE WOOD, Macrobert Arts Centre
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Dec 8, 2025

Headmistress Merlina and best pal Gretel have tried everything but it looks like there’s mair chance of Hansel-No-Solo appearing in the Love Island Class of ’26 than passing those Nat 5’s. And just when the magic community thinks things can't get worse – shock horror – feral forest fooligan and pure thieving radge Little Red Riding Hood robs the school of all their power, leaving the wicked Sheriff of Stirling-Stella-ham to run amok with their band of evil minions.

Review: BLACK HOLE SIGN, Tron Theatre
by Mary Baillie - Sep 29, 2025

Black Hole Sign presents a compelling premise: an understaffed A&E department in disarray, where Senior Charge Nurse Crea (Helen Logan) struggles to steer a failing ship under the immense pressures facing the NHS. The play offers an interesting insight into the challenges of nursing and raises important questions about what it truly means to deliver effective care.

When two old friends meet at a haunt from their youth they relive their exciting teenage years in the poptastic seventies.

Every adventure is soundtracked by a hit from the greatest boy band of them all – The Bay City Rollers. And meeting their pop idols becomes the most important thing in their lives.

Review: RADIANT VERMIN, Tron Theatre
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Jun 29, 2024

A wickedly comic satire about a young couple offered a ‘too-good-to-be-true’ way onto the property ladder. Playful, provocative and viciously sharp, this outrageous black comedy is a meditation on how far we will go to satisfy – and justify – materialistic greed.

Review: SUGAR COAT, Southwark Playhouse
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Apr 1, 2023

Sugar Coat is a piece of gig theatre, telling a story of growing up, trauma, and sex through pop punk music. A kind of rock concert meets musical, it’s performed by an all female and non-binary band, playing and singing live for the duration of the show. From the very beginning, this doesn’t feel like a traditional theatre experience: the audience are whooping and clapping along, and it’s clear that everyone both onstage and off is having a great time.
