Review: GAME OF THRONES: THE MAD KING, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Upon Avon
by Clementine Scott - Aug 9, 2026
With some reluctance, longtime fans of Game of Thrones have acknowledged that the novel series that inspired the era-defining HBO fantasy show – George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire – will likely never be finished, and the franchise will be chiefly remembered for its disappointing TV ending. The next best thing, then, is The Mad King, a play that attempts to resolve some of the series’ central mysteries, and put an end to many a heated Reddit debate.

Review: NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE, London Coliseum

Packed to the brim with illusions and disillusionment, it quickly becomes clear that Now You See Me Live is only a magic show in one sense of the word.

Review: THE CAR MAN, Sadler's Wells
by Franco Milazzo - Aug 3, 2026
Luca swaggers into Harmony (population 375, and dropping) looking less like a drifter than an escapee from a protein powder advert, and Matthew Bourne's dance-noir wastes no time weaponising that effect. Under a sign reading 'Man Wanted,' the garage owner Dino offers him work and his wife Lana offers considerably more; before the interval is out, so has the gentle mechanic Angelo. Man wanted, indeed.

Interview: 'It's A Big Job!': Actor Keziah Ibe On Making Her Professional Debut As Eliza Doolittle In Chichester Festival Theatre's MY FAIR LADY
by Kat Mokrynski - Aug 5, 2026
It’s certainly a “loverly” summer in Chichester this year, with My Fair Lady playing in the Festival Theatre. Keziah Ibe makes her professional debut as Eliza Dolittle alongside Hadley Fraser as Henry Higgins. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Ibe about taking on the iconic role of Eliza Dolittle. We discussed what it’s been like making her professional debut, what the rehearsal process was like and what she hopes audiences take away from this production.

Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Starring Kenneth Branagh, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - Jul 22, 2026
Kenneth Branagh triumphs as rags to riches Lopakhin in Laura Wade's fresh rendering of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Part of a star-studded Royal Shakespeare Company cast, including Helen Hunt and Bill Pullman, he gives a multifaceted portrait of a serf's son who ultimately wins what he wants – but at great cost.

Review Roundup: Ben Platt in MIDNIGHT AT THE NEVER GET at The Menier Chocolate Factory
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Jul 21, 2026
1965, New York City. Trevor Copeland and Arthur Brightman’s romance is against the law. In their secret nightclub act, “Midnight,” they perform love songs in an act of defiance of a world that demands they stay hidden. As tensions rise at the start of a historic movement, Trevor and Arthur are torn between their own surreptitious affair and the oncoming storm of social revolution. What did the critics think?

Review: MIDNIGHT AT THE NEVER GET, Starring Ben Platt, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Clementine Scott - Jul 20, 2026
In Midnight at the Never Get, time is not a straightforward thing. It’s never clear what’s real and what’s fiction, how old the characters are, or what decade we’re in. We’re hearing Gershwin-esque jazz standards, but also references to “peaceniks” and Woody Allen.

Review: THE ORESTEIA, Bridge Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - Jul 15, 2026
There is a dig at Simon Stone in the National Theatre's new Misanthrope, a jab at ultra-contemporary classical reboots staged in rotating glass boxes, the Australian auteur's calling card. His adaptions of Phaedra and Yerma turn his actors into caged zoo animals prowling around their confines waiting for pent up emotions to burst. It’s rinse and repeat for Stone’s take on The Oresteia at The Bridge. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it?
