Review: AS YOU LIKE IT, Shakespeare's Globe
by Clementine Scott - Aug 21, 2026

Sean Holmes at the Globe has been characterised as something of a purist, his A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Much Ado attracting praise for their Elizabethan costumes and rowdy atmosphere. In the opening scenes of his As You Like It, much of the same traditionalism is on display, except here the result is not revelry, but artifice.

EDINBURGH 2026: Review: AFTER PARTY, Traverse Theatre
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Aug 16, 2026

With biting wit and unexpected tenderness, After Party by award-winning Scottish playwright Morna Young is a bold, life-affirming story about a life-ending decision.

Review: CLEANSED, Almeida
by Alexander Cohen - Jul 30, 2026

Few plays unite cast and audience in mutual struggle like Sarah Kane's Cleansed. Many consider it unstageable: stage directions demand a tongue be cut out, rats carry off severed limbs, and a lot of blood. The last London production in 2016 saw audience members throwing up and fainting in the stalls.

by Josh Sharpe - Jul 5, 2026

Whether you are Team Black or Team Green, there is probably a stage veteran on your side. Like other HBO shows such as The Gilded Age and Julia, the Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon, is full of Broadway, West End, and stage alums. 

Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - Jun 30, 2026

'This green plot shall be our stage,' declares Quince, which couldn't be more fitting for Atri Banerjee's quirky, new production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. After all, there's a particular magic in this venue, with its dreamy roses, exotic ducks and fairy lights twinkling in the trees.

Review: CYRANO DE BERGERAC, Starring Adrian Lester, Noël Coward Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 26, 2026

Edmond Rostand’s classic comes back to the West End with a new adaptation by Simon Evans and Debris Stevenson. This is a drastically different approach from the last time we saw Cyrano on a commercial stage. If Jamie Llloyd redefined the story in 2019, Evans grounds it back to its roots in an open-hearted celebration of emotion, language, and empathy. With Cyrano, Rostand explores the timeless relation between inner and outer beauty. Adrian Lester shines as the big-schnozzed poet, joined by the remarkable Susannah Fielding as Roxane.

Review: RELICS, Lyric Hammersmith
by Clementine Scott - Jun 24, 2026

At first Relics seems straight out of a classic, deadpan British sitcom. Our characters – four siblings divvying up the possession of their recently deceased mother – are experiencing one of life’s most harrowing moments, but their conversation revolves around minutiae in council planning documents and parking difficulties. You can almost hear the laugh track.

Review: THE MISANTHROPE, starring Sandra Oh
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 24, 2026

If Molière was preoccupied with censorship and retaliation, Crimp shows an obsession for cancellation. He reveals an anti-internet and anti-woke stance, with many invectives betraying his own fears.

Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, Shakespeare's Globe
by Clementine Scott - Jun 19, 2026

With its whitewashed walls and actors swanning around in linen suits, inevitably the Globe’s summer staging of Much Ado About Nothing will recall Kenneth Branagh’s Tuscany-set film version from 1993. That is, until they whip out the oversized animal masks.

Review: DRIFTWOOD, Kiln Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Jun 9, 2026

“It’s like vultures circling a carcass,” one character in Driftwood says of the uneasy situation in Trinidad a few years shy of independence. This is the febrile setting for Casualty actress Martina Laird’s debut play, a portrait of a nation told entirely within the walls of one Port of Spain gentleman’s club, named ALMA.
