An all‑women Julius Caesar arrives at The Studio@620, reimagining Shakespeare’s political thriller inside the modern corporate world.

Review: GISELLE, Royal Ballet And Opera
by Matthew Paluch - Feb 16, 2026

Review: SWEETMEATS, Bush Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 14, 2026
Delicious comic timing carries the humour with an effervescent pace, while the cultural aspect of the script adds a bittersweet layer to it. It’s genuinely funny, with a quick sting in the tail. Natasha Kathi-Chandra’s direction is unhurried, leaning into Khan’s deliberate restraint in building the relationship. The placid speed of the narrative development nearly tips into self-indulgence, and the two-hour-and-a-half-with-an-interval running time might be frankly unnecessary for what the plot is, but the production is endearing enough to make us neglect its downsides.
