Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, Shakespeare's Globe
by Clementine Scott - Jun 20, 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: LEAVES OF GLASS, Park Theatre

Geraldine Alexander, Katie Buchholz, and More Cast in UK Revival Of Philip Ridley's LEAVES OF GLASS
by Stephi Wild - Mar 23, 2023

Following its critically acclaimed premiere at Soho Theatre in 2007, master storyteller Philip Ridley's four-hander is a gripping narrative of memory, manipulation, and power - now regarded as a modern classic - returns for the first time in 16 years with a new production by longtime collaborators, Lidless Theatre.
Review: SALT-WATER MOON, Finborough Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jan 6, 2023

David French’s semi-autobiographical award-winning Canadian classic receives its British premiere 38 years after its debut, but it appears it’s not a timeless play. Much has changed since then and, directed by Peter Kavanagh, Salt-Water Moon comes off as quite the tired shadow of a love story.

All new rehearsal photos have been released from Finborough Theatre’s upcoming production of David French’s Salt-Water Moon.
Review: THE POLTERGEIST, Arcola Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 18, 2022

Philip Ridley writes an atomic bomb of a play and keeps his finger on the release button until Sasha explodes in an earth-shaking climax. Social niceties and typically British politeness masquerade a coarse, brash internal monologue whose quick quips are absolutely annihilating and, frankly, indecently amusing.

by Marissa Tomeo - May 14, 2022

The fourth member of their tight-knit group is Virginia, a young teacher. As autumn draws in, each of the friends finds their perception of one another and themselves irrevocably changed.
BWW Review: THE DWARFS, White Bear Theatre
by Gary Naylor - May 14, 2022

Brilliant acted play captures the London experience at that tipping point between the pursuit of youthful follies and the assumption of adult responsibilities. Let's see what BWW's critic had to say...

BWW Review: THE POLTERGEIST, Southwark Playhouse
by Shane Morgan - Nov 21, 2020

Playwright Philip Ridley is known for his menace, his verbal gymnastics and the bleak lens through which he observes the world his characters inhabit. There can be no better set of tools or writer to implement them when it comes to a painfully uncomfortable family birthday that unearths childhood stories, family friends and a box of painkillers.
