Review: SHUCKED, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 21, 2025

Dying crops, a community in distress, scandals, affairs, Shucked was hailed as the pinnacle of musical comedy when it premiered in 2022. With a book by Robert Horn (writer of Tootsie and the stage adaptation of Disney’s Hercules, to mention a few credits), plus music and lyrics by country songwriters Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, Jack O’Brien’s production lands in Regent’s Park for its UK premiere after a handful of wins and a Grammy nod too. The show might be an easy giggle, ready to charm with puns galore and a corny score, but it's shuckingly mid. Every inch is tropey and formulaic, with quips that are either the low-hanging cob or the most extravagant sexual innuendo, missing the sophistication of well-calibred humour altogether. It has plenty of moments of brilliance and the company is overwhelmingly excellent, but the material isn’t as dazzling.

Critics' Pick: Gary Naylor's Best of 2023 in Review

Some highlights of the last year and some optimism for an uncertain future

Guest Blog: 'Theatre is a Powerful, Collaborative Art Form': Director Vicky Moran on Accessibility, Underrepresentation and her Latest Play, £1 THURSDAYS
by Guest Author - Dec 18, 2023

When I read £1 Thursdays by Kat Rose-Martin, I was immediately drawn to the first thing in the script which says ‘none of the characters should be presented as rough. They graft and have it hard but they take pride in who they are. Swearing is a part of their everyday language and should be treat as so’. I loved this.

Review: £1 THURSDAYS, Finborough Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Dec 4, 2023

Jen and Stacey are seventeen. Money is tight and their parents drive them mad, but all their thoughts are pulled towards that night of the week where they can let rip on a dancefloor. Kat Rose-Martin's promising new play pulls no punches in its stark portrayal of the harsh reality of life for two working class friends living in Bradford in 2012.
