Review: THIS LITTLE EARTH, Arcola Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 25, 2025

For her debut, playwright Jessica Norman leans into the singular speculation that “the people in power” keep us humble citizens from the truth. It’s fascinating stuff. Long-listed for the Women’s Prize for Playwriting and directed by Imy Wyatt Corner, This Little Earth is a thin exploration of the debris of grief at a time where reality flickers. It’s alright, but it could be so much more.

Review: FOREVERLAND, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 5, 2024

Would you undergo a procedure that would easily and painlessly grant you to live eternally?
