by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 9, 2026

Set in New York's East Village, Rent follows a group of young artists, musicians and friends, navigating love, ambition and creativity while trying to build lives on their own terms.

No day but today.

Review: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Richmond Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 9, 2026

Shirley Jackson’s 1959 gothic novel skyrocketed back to recognition in 2018 when it inspired Mike Flanagan’s Netflix sensation of the same name. It’s time for theatre to get its share now, with Stef Smith (of Nora: A Doll’s House fame) adapting Jackson’s original material into a ghostly examination of resentment. Paranormal investigator Dr. John Montague has invited a handful of guests to help him find scientific evidence of the existence of the supernatural at Hill House. As the group begins to experience a series of unexplained events, it becomes apparent that there’s more to the mystery of Hill House, and our characters need to look inward. Directed by Martin Constantine, it’s a decent choice for this spooky season.

Gaten Matarazzo Makes West End Debut In Powerful 30th Anniversary Revival Of RENT
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 8, 2026

It's been a long wait since London last saw Jonathan Larson's semi-autobiographical rock masterpiece that won four Tony Awards and a posthumous Pulitzer. It's unlikely that any of the cast of the 30th anniversary revival of RENT was out of nappies when the show debuted off-Broadway, but the themes of young people struggling with the cost of living, navigating jobs and relationships, as well as living in the aftermath of the pandemic (albeit this one is AIDS), are evergreen.

Review: BLOODSPORT: AFTER HELEN OF TROY, Starring Michelle Dockery, Stratford East
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 11, 2026

After discussing gossip and patriarchy with Anne Boleyn in 1536, Ava Pickett keeps exploring the female spheres through the figure of Helen of Troy in Bloodsport. The war is over, and Helen has returned home. She has been brought back home, to be specific. Her husband is ecstatic, but her former best friend and confidante, Cee, doesn’t take the news well. Pickett reframes the Trojan War, setting it in contemporary Essex, in a play that raises a multitude of intersectionally feminist questions.

Review: WHO KILLED MARILYN?, The Emerald Theatre
by Mica Blackwell - Aug 21, 2026

In a time when the media’s obsession with young troubled Hollywood women continues to be rampant, there could be merit behind the ethics of reexamining Marilyn Monroe’s death. Instead, Who Killed Marilyn? becomes the thing it tries to critique.
