Review: STAGE KISS, Hampstead Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 15, 2026

Art imitates life, and life imitates art in Sarah Ruhl’s 2014 play Stage Kiss. When two ex-lovers are cast in the same show, their on-stage relationship bleeds into their off-stage one, and vice versa. The weight of their baggage threatens to ruin their relationships, but Ruhl is excessively compassionate and wholly unoriginal.

Review: 1536, The Ambassadors Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - May 14, 2026

On 13 May 1536, Anne Boleyn’s household is broken up ahead of her going on trial for treason. On 13 May 2026, Ava Pickett’s play 1536 continues performances in its new West End home. 490 years may feel like a long time, but just how much has actually changed? Set against the backdrop of Anne Boleyn’s catastrophic fall from grace, three women try to navigate through life in an increasingly misogynistic Tudor village.

Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Shakespeare's Globe
by Clementine Scott - Apr 30, 2026

A few scenes into Emily Lim’s version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Globe stage undergoes a transformation. Austere statuary gets wheeled away, the columns are swathed in plastic flowers, and Michael Grady-Hall as Puck blows bubbles to make more flowers emerge from the floorboards. The effect is colourful, tacky, and gloriously synthetic.

Review: THE BATTLE, Birmingham Rep
by Laura Lott - Feb 18, 2026

Before Taylor Swift versus Charli XCX - but after The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones - came Blur versus Oasis. David Niven's debut comedy at Birmingham Rep takes us back to the summer of 1995, when temperatures and egos both soared and the nation was gripped by the chart battle between Oasis’ “Roll With It” and Blur's “Country House”.

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Barbican Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - Dec 17, 2025

“And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.” Following rave reviews, the RSC’s most recent production of Twelfth Night finally makes its way to London as part of the Barbican’s winter season. Directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah, it sees Samuel West, Freema Agyeman, Michael Grady-Hall and others reprise their roles for this limited run - but does this “midsummer madness” feel at home in the festive season?
