Review: PORN PLAY, Royal Court
by Franco Milazzo - Nov 14, 2025
Ani has a problem. Well, two problems, but they are on very friendly terms: she’s addicted to hardcore porn and her boyfriend Liam has had enough of seeing it when they're in bed. She doesn’t care so she cums, he goes, and - even before the door slams - she’s back on her phone scrolling through an endless feed of videos.

Review: HEDDA, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 28, 2025
There can be a tendancy to eye-roll at the prospect of a new interpretation of a classic play. However, Tanika Gupta's new take on Ibsen's Hedda Gabler at the Orange Tree is a genuinely innovative and fascinating take on the tale of the destructive nature of manipulation and the complexities of marriage.

Review Roundup: MACBETH, starring Sam Heughan and Lia Williams
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 27, 2025
Directed by Daniel Raggett, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s brings a new version of Macbeth to the small studio space in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Review: MACBETH, starring Sam Heughan and Lia Williams
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 26, 2025
Something wicked this way comes: it’s another exciting high-concept Shakespeare. Director Daniel Raggett moves the action of the Scottish Play to a safe-house pub in the midst of a racketeering war. Succession meets Sons of Anarchy with a hint of The Sopranos in this daring, new production. With a hypnotic tempo that’s almost cinematic in nature, Raggett leaves you on the edge of your seat, gasping for air, mouth gaping and eyes wide. It’s Macbeth like you’ve never seen it before. Is it an extravagant idea on paper? It sure is. Does it work? Flawlessly and explosively so.

Review: HOT MESS, Southwark Playhouse Elephant
by Mica Blackwell - Oct 23, 2025
Godfrey and Coote's sophomore offering far from lives up to its name. With a music and book of charm and wit carried by two West End heavyweights, Hot Mess proves you can portray serious issues with a touch of fun. Earth and Humanity's relationship may be messy and complicated, but I see this musical's future as clear and bright.

Review: TROILUS AND CRESSIDA, Shakespeare's Globe
by Debbie Gilpin - Oct 4, 2025
One of the least performed plays in Shakespeare’s canon, and also one of the most aptly labelled as a ‘problem play’; Troilus and Cressida is ostensibly about the romance between these two Trojans, but in reality much of the play focuses on the backdrop to their love - the ongoing siege of Troy by the Greeks. This production in the open-air Globe Theatre is the final new show of the summer season.

Review: INTERVIEW, Starring Robert Sean Leonard, Riverside Studios
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Aug 29, 2025
Originally a 2003 film by Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, Interview was remade into an English-speaking version starring Sienna Miller and Steve Buscemi in 2007 after Van Gogh's death. Now directed and adapted for the stage by Teunkie Van Der Sluijs, Paten Hughes and Robert Sean Leonard star in this tense two-hander which never quite reaches its potential.

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Shakespeare's Globe
by Clementine Scott - Aug 20, 2025
‘This is Illyria,’ bellows the sea captain conveying the shipwrecked Viola to shore, in what is surely one of Shakespeare’s most straightforward opening lines. In Robin Belfield’s new production, that triumphant declaration serves as an introduction not just to Twelfth Night’s fictional Balkan setting, but also to the rich visual universe Belfield has conjured up onstage.

Review: THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, The Other Place, Stratford upon Avon
by Debbie Gilpin - Aug 13, 2025
Joanna Bowman brings Shakespearean Italy to The Other Place at the RSC with her new production of his first play, The Two Gentlemen of Verona. At a pacy 90 minutes (without an interval) and set in the round, the play is reimagined for the present day with a talented cast of actor-musicians - an ideal way to introduce old and new alike to this piece of work.
