Review: ARCADIA, Duke Of York’s Theatre
by Christiana Rose - Jul 2, 2026
Returning to the West End in a breath-taking production directed by Carrie Cracknell, this revival confirms that Tom Stoppard created one of the finest works in modern theatre.
Review: SPRINGWOOD, Hampstead Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Jun 29, 2026
At one point, in June 1939, the UK-US ‘Special Relationship’ was defined by the King eating hotdogs on the president’s lawn. King George VI and the future Queen Mother may not have persuaded President Franklin D. Roosevelt to promise Britain his allegiance in the forthcoming war in Europe, but their state visit – the first for a British monarch in the US – provided a model of transatlantic friendship to be mimicked for decades to come.
Review: PRIDE, National Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Jun 27, 2026
In a Britain more divided than ever, this message of solidarity couldn’t have come at a better time. Pride feels on the brink of being the next big thing – and how glorious that the next big British musical is so proudly and fiercely queer and working class.

by Clementine Scott - May 20, 2026
Despite her relative unpopularity within her lifetime, Barbara Pym always excelled at plumbing the depths in the lives of desperately ordinary people. In her 1977 novel Quartet in Autumn, she is concerned with those who live their lives waiting for something to happen, and what happens when that something never comes.
Review: EQUUS, Starring Toby Stephens, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 19, 2026
It's nearly twenty years since Daniel Radcliffe first tried to throw off the Harry Potter shackles in the 2007 version of Peter Shaffer’s 1973 play Equus. Now director Lindsay Posner has revived Shaffer's deeply traumatic story about the fluctuating relationship between a psychiatrist, Dr Dysart, and a teenage boy, Alan Strang.

Review: SUNNY AFTERNOON at Edinburgh Playhouse
by Mary Baillie - May 7, 2026
1960s rock band The Kinks never reached the towering commercial heights of The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, but Joe Penhall’s jukebox bio-musical Sunny Afternoon argues that their turbulent journey to stardom was no less dramatic.
