Review: THE HUNGER GAMES: ON STAGE, Canary Wharf Troubadour Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Nov 13, 2025
Housed in a purpose-built venue in Canary Wharf, it’s a behemoth. Adapting it for the stage was always going to be a Herculean task, not only when it comes to pleasing a very passionate fandom, but when we consider the scale and magnitude of the story too. Written by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster, it’s an unquestionably impressive achievement with great technical value. The actors are tireless athletes, the theatre is an imposing arena, and the stagecraft is often remarkable. Unfortunately, it’s also a soulless incarnation.

Review: EDWARD II, Swan Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - Mar 6, 2025
'I'll bandy with the barons and the earls, and either die or live with Gaveston.' There has been much conjecture over the centuries as to the true nature of Edward II’s relationship with Piers Gaveston; were they friends, committed partners, or something in between? It’s not something for which we can ever have conclusive proof, thanks to the passing of time and the fact that sexuality wasn’t as rigidly defined in medieval times as it is now. Christopher Marlowe had his own thoughts about the pair, and that is what we see brought to life in his history play.
