Review: THE WHITE CHIP, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Jul 12, 2025

The recent statistics surrounding alcohol consumption in the UK are frankly staggering. Across the four nations, around 80% of adults are regular drinkers, and a significant number of them drink way above the Chief Medical Officers’ low-risk guidelines. The country’s drinking culture is out of hand and few of us pay it much mind. Shows like The White Chip burst onto the scene in a blaze of counter-action, reframing a problem that is standard behaviour for many. After all, how can you let loose without sipping on something?

EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: LEAVE A MESSAGE, Gilded Balloon
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Aug 27, 2019

Two friends, Ed and Sarah, travel to the small squalid bedsit where Ed's father passed away a few days earlier. As they wade through the debris, the fragments of one lost life begin to coalesce, just as another starts to show signs of cracking. Will we be remembered for anything more than the mess we leave behind? Either way, the carpet is beyond saving. A brand-new play, based on an actual afternoon.

by Jeffrey Ellis - Mar 24, 2012

Outrageously funny, wonderfully engaging and, at times, even heartfelt and sentimental, Avenue Q serves up a full buffet for the discerning theater-goer lucky enough to find himself in the audience of Street Theatre Company's production of the multiple Tony Award-winning musical, directed with flash and sass by Martha Wilkinson and featuring a cast of amazingly adept actors-turned-puppeteers who bring the show to life.

Nobody Does It Like Cy -- CY COLEMAN’S BROADWAY at The McCallum Theatre on February 8th
by David Green - Feb 11, 2012

What a wonderful thing it is to spend an evening in the theatre and have your expectations exceeded. The McCallum Theatre is presenting quite an impressive and varied array of theatrical offerings this spring, but I believe last night's CY COLEMAN'S BROADWAY might have been the unexpected "jewel" in their season. It was truly a valentine to one of Broadway and popular music's most prolific composers and the celebration of a songbook that leaves you wondering - "Did he ever write anything that wasn't a hit"?
