Review: 1536, The Ambassadors Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - May 14, 2026

On 13 May 1536, Anne Boleyn’s household is broken up ahead of her going on trial for treason. On 13 May 2026, Ava Pickett’s play 1536 continues performances in its new West End home. 490 years may feel like a long time, but just how much has actually changed? Set against the backdrop of Anne Boleyn’s catastrophic fall from grace, three women try to navigate through life in an increasingly misogynistic Tudor village.

Review: 1536, Almeida Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - May 15, 2025

Rumours are flying, people are f**king, and the queen’s been taken to the tower. Ava Pickett’s debut play 1536 tears through a story of female sexuality and male violence, bringing a distinctly twenty-first century language and sensibility to the era of Anne Boleyn.

Review: YOU ON THE MOORS NOW at The Players
by Christopher Verleger - May 14, 2025

Considering the periodic, seemingly countless remakes of such classic works like “Little Women,” “Pride and Prejudice,” and “Wuthering Heights,” the significance of women’s voices in the history of literature cannot be overstated. Jaclyn Backhaus’ remarkably original satire, ‘You On The Moors Now,’ now presented by The Players at Barker Playhouse, not only invites audiences to yet again revisit these timeless tales but asks us to imagine how these esteemed heroines would behave in society today.

Review: ALMA MATER, Almeida Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jul 4, 2024

Alma Mater is the byproduct of fourth-wave feminism, with faint echoes of David Mamet’s Oleanna flipped on its head and delivered with a sleight of hand. Polly Findlay is back at the Almeida to direct Kendall Feaver’s world premiere, which finally officially opens after a troubled start. The withdrawal of Lia Williams, who was initially due to take on Jo, doesn’t seem to hinder this unforgiving production, with Justine Mitchell taking over with an assured stance.

Review: THE JUNGLE at Shakespeare Theatre Company's Harman Hall
by Dara Homer - Apr 2, 2023

The Jungle focuses on the experiences of a community of migrants in a real encampment in Calais and was inspired by the playwrights’ work at the actual camp. From its rich design to its phenomenal ensemble company, The Jungle is a wrenching, one-of-a-kind performance that shouldn’t be missed.
