Review: TITUS ANDRONICUS, Hampstead Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Sep 23, 2025
Hampstead Theatre has seen its fair share of gore. Even so, Max Webster’s Titus Andronicus leaves the boards drenched in something more caustic than fake blood: the acid tang of a civilisation eating itself. Shakespeare’s revenge tragedy is a grotesque feast, and here it’s served up with relish.
Review Roundup: What Did The Critics Think of BORN WITH TEETH?
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Sep 3, 2025
Winter 1591. It is a dangerous time for artists: the country is full of conspiracy and paranoia. In the backroom of a pub, writing sensations Kit Marlowe and Will Shakespeare are forced together in a creative union. Alone, with the table as their stage and battlefield, they sharpen their pens – and let their genius fly. Across three secret meetings, the rivals duel and flirt like their lives depend on it – and with spies everywhere, betrayal is so tempting.
Review: BORN WITH TEETH, Starring Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel

“Does my flesh dazzle you?” a lascivious Christopher Marlowe asks a flustered William Shakespeare in what we can only describe as an exceptional example of theatrical slash fiction. For the uninitiated, “slash fiction” is a genre of fanfiction that focuses on the romantic relation between preexisting fictional characters of the same sex. Liz Duffy Adams’s Born With Teeth brings the female gaze to the West End. Directed by Daniel Evans and starring Ncuti Gatwa alongside Edward Bluemel, 90 steamy minutes of action puts two most venerated playwrights in England together like we’ve only ever found on websites like AO3 (Archive Of Our Own, the biggest fan-run fanfiction platform) and Tumblr.

Review: REDLANDS, Chichester Festival Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - Oct 1, 2024
'The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.' Charlotte Jones’ new play delves into a curious pocket of showbiz history, with Michael Havers QC at the centre of it all. Fresh from a momentous victory, he is personally selected by The Rolling Stones’ manager Allen Klein to defend Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in their upcoming trial - and all the while, his teenage son Nigel is trying to work out how to break the news that he doesn’t want to go into the law, he’d much rather be an actor.
