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: THE LITTLE FOXES, Young Vic
by Alexander Cohen - Dec 12, 2024
We love watching a rich family crumble on stage. From Oedipus and his mother to Chekhov’s families fractured by existential angst, to Ibsen’s split by socio-politics paradigm shifts. The Hubbards, the family of former plantation owners in Lilian Hellman’s The Little Foxes, could be the spiritual successor of them all
