Review: IT WALKS AROUND THE HOUSE AT NIGHT, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Mar 10, 2026

In spite of being one of the most difficult genres to stage, horror theatre is having its moment. The Woman in Black might have closed at the Fortune three years ago (almost to the day!), but the success of Paranormal Activity at the Ambassadors is proof that audiences are hungry for some spooky drama. The crowds demand, Thickskin Theatre provides. It Walks Around the House At Night is a deliciously spine-tingling triumph of stagecraft. Written by Tim Foley and directed by Neil Bettles, it’s as traditional as it is innovative.

Review: NOUGHTS & CROSSES, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Jul 9, 2025

Malorie Blackman’s Noughts & Crosses has long been something of a YA classic.

Review: THE HOUSE PARTY, Rose Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Mar 8, 2025

Sex, power, gender and class: August Strindberg's Miss Julie may have first been performed in 1889, but its themes live on.
