Review: MAYBE TOMORROW, Oran Mor
by Natalie O'Donoghue - October 11, 2025
Sian Silver has been on stage her whole life, with years in show business and countless seasons under her belt. Now at the end of the pier (and her wits) in a dingy dressing room full of unrealised ambitions, there’s still one dream she just can’t shake.

Review: ENDGAME, Bedlam Theatre
by Iona Rose - October 06, 2025
Set in a post-apocalyptic dystopia, there is a chilling and unsettled edge to Endgame as the shadow of death haunts the characters.

Staging is minimal and effectively chosen overall; this is not a home as most would recognise it.

by Mary Baillie - September 29, 2025
Black Hole Sign presents a compelling premise: an understaffed A&E department in disarray, where Senior Charge Nurse Crea (Helen Logan) struggles to steer a failing ship under the immense pressures facing the NHS.
