Review: WHY A BLACK WOMAN WILL NEVER BE PRIME MINISTER, Camden People's Theatre
by Josh Maughan - Oct 25, 2024
In every mission it sets itself upon, this play succeeds. It’s a tight hug to the communities that need it, it’s vital education to those who want to learn, it’s a wake-up call to those who are ignorant, and it’s an angry, triumphant demand for action. Zakiyyah Deen is a magnetic performer, her talent pulsates through the space.

Review: G, Royal Court Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 1, 2024
Magical realism is hard to come by in the theatre. Playwright Tife Kusoro dips into urban legends and creepypasta to deliver a fascinating coming-of-age piece. With stunning direction by Monique Touko, G is a brilliant supernatural cautionary tale - a description that’s, admittedly, not entirely accurate nor comprehensive of everything the play is. Kusoro infuses her work with surrealism and harsh socio-political critique, pure banter and sheer terror. It’s young and fresh and ingenuously subversive. It’s a comic thriller, but also an unsettling allegory and a story about the power of friendship and loyalty. Kusoro is definitely onto something.

Review: RED PITCH, Bush Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 14, 2023
Tyrell Williams’ tale of football, friendship, and societal shift has smashed records and garnered outstanding feedback across the board. More than a couple awards and the surprising surge in sports-themed plays we’ve had have put it back on the map for another limited run. Could this playwriting debut be eyeing a West End transfer at this point? It’s already a success, it might as well become a commercial hit too.
