Review: FALLEN ANGELS, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Laura Jones - Dec 3, 2025

The 2025 revival of Noel Coward's Fallen Angels at the Menier Chocolate Factory, directed by Christopher Luscombe, offers a polished, refined evening of comedy, one that reminds us why Coward's wit, even after a century, can still sparkle with mischief. This is the first London production in 25 years, and it arrives with a cast that honours the play’s flirtatious, farcical spirit while also ensuring the characters retain warmth and vulnerability.

Review: SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER at One &Only
by Maria Bruun Fanoe - Oct 24, 2024

Østjyderne elsker Silas Holst! Fra det øjeblik, han træder på scenen, fyldes salen med klapsalver og jubel, som jeg kun har set lige ved Stig Rossen-koncerter. Her føles det som, at Rossen har en konstant fanskare, der møder trofast op, uanset hvad der spilles. Samme følelse får jeg med Silas Holst, og det er måske meget heldigt, for Saturday Night Fever er ikke en musical, der bærer sig selv stærkt.

Review: LAUGHING BOY, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 1, 2024

When Connor dies whilst in the care of the NHS, his mum, Sara, wants answers. Premiering under Stephen Unwin’s taut direction, Sara Ryan’s Laughing Boy is a bittersweet docu-play about brutal neglect and apathy. While it’s a damning inquiry into the shortcomings of public health, is it a good play or is it a great production of a rather mediocre one? In our opinion, it's the second.

Review: PRIVATE LIVES, Ambassadors Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - Sep 14, 2023

A still very debonair Nigel Havers as dashing Elyot, and Patricia Hodge, very much at the top of her game as sensational Amanda – aged 72 and 75 respectively – command the stage of the newly refurbished Ambassadors Theatre.

Review: CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, New Wimbledon Theatre
by Alice Cope - Jun 23, 2023

This touring production is the first to include female actresses included as regular Charlie Bucket performers. This is just one of the ways that inclusion has been developed into this production as scenes with Charlie’s mother, performed here by Leonie Spilsbury, see the actors very effortlessly include BSL as part of their character communication with each other.
