Review: BARRIER(S), Camden People's Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Nov 12, 2025

There’s something of Heartstopper to the design of Barrier(s), pastel sketches of suburban living rooms and nervous texts to a crush etched out lovingly on the projector. On this occasion, though, those charmingly awkward texts have a practical function as well as an aesthetic one, because Barrier(s) is performed mostly in British Sign Language.

Review: WYLD WOMAN, Southwark Playhouse
by Clementine Scott - Nov 3, 2025
