Review: A SLOW FIRE, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 26, 2026


Ultimately, it’s difficult to single out what Stephens wants to say here. Leaving aside the logistics of the events, which only make sense when you don’t look into them too much, the story feels flat. Even running at two hours (plus an interval), where the first half consists of a lengthy set-up for the second act, the ending is muddled and rushed. The company is charming and the characters most definitely grow on you, but it’s rather indecisive and inconclusive in its aims.
