Review: ESCAPED ALONE, The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 7, 2026

Caryl Churchill meets ‘il dolce far niente’ in this reimagined production of her 2016 play Escaped Alone. Italian companies lacasadargilla and Piccolo Teatro present a timid adaptation written by Monica Capuani and directed by Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli and Alessandro Ferroni. It’s a pity that the quintessentially bleak English approach of Churchill’s four ageing women as they spend their summer between tea and gossip fails to translate. Caught between the shackling boredom of retirement and a desire to maintain their identities, they reminisce and dig up the past, unearthing a few uncomfortable truths. In all this, Mrs. Jarrett slips into apocalyptic speeches that detail environmental disaster and societal collapse.

Review: UCCELLINI (LITTLE BIRDS), The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 1, 2026

Ghosts, death, and the local fauna join the living in a house in the middle of the woods. When Luka takes his girlfriend to his childhood home to spend her birthday relaxing in solitude, she’s suddenly met with the weight of Luka’s family dynamics. Secluded in the damp darkness of the trees, Luka (Francesco Villano) and his brother Theo (Emiliano Masala) are forced to dig up the past. Rosalinda Conti’s play is an explosion of subtle emotion. It blends tradition with avant-garde flair in a clever stylistic exercise directed by Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli and Alessandro Ferroni.

Review: NAYATT SCHOOL REDUX, The Coronet Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - Apr 18, 2026

If you like your theatre to be undeniably avant-garde, then trot along to Notting Hill's Coronet Theatre and see The Wooster Group's Nayatt School Redux. Baffling and bewildering – but never boring – this experimental, multi-media production from a New York company that's been going for over 50 years and has included the likes of Willem Dafoe could well be the most unusual stage experience you'll have this year.

Review: LAST AND FIRST MEN - NEON DANCE, Coronet Theatre
by Matthew Paluch - Mar 2, 2026

Sci-fi, like most things, is an acquired taste, and not something you often find related to dance. Enter The Coronet Theatre for once again pushing the boundaries of avant-garde programming. Last And First Men (2024) by Neon Dance is a multimedia work that definitely gets the brain working in pre-performance research and post-show afterthought. The live experience itself is a slightly confusing one in relation to content, intention and cohesion.

Review: THE STORY OF PEER GYNT: AN EVENING WITH KÅRE CONRADI, The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 20, 2026

f we’re speaking technically, a dramatised lecture is an educational performance that joins drama and academia in order to make the topic more entertaining to the public. In this case, Conradi offers an engaging one-man show that makes the bulky five acts of Peer Gynt accessible and smooth. He lightly ties the original piece to the universal experience of living in a modern world, but doesn’t overdo any of the self-referencing faux pas that could have been made. It’s a self-effacing vanity project of exquisite moral and artistic value.

Review: THE GAMBLER, The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 6, 2026

Japanese company Chiten Theatre returns to the Coronet with an energetic adaptation of Dostoevsky’s novel The Gambler. Directed by Motoi Miura with a translation by Ikuo Kameyama, it’s accompanied by experimental rock trio kukangendai. It’s an entertaining, fascinating production, presented in Chiten’s unique style. The history of the book is in itself intriguing, and Dostoevsky’s addiction to gambling is essentially distilled in it. Written to pay off his debts, it saw the author betting the full rights to his works ahead of starting. If he hadn’t completed it in time, F. T. Stellovsky would have been able to publish him for nine years without compensation. Needless to say, the bet put a pep in Dostoevsky’s step.

Review: MEDEA, Coronet Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Jun 20, 2025

This Medea feels at one with its ancient origins, with Athens’ strict patriarchy and fractured psyches and desperate quests for glory, while also injecting a risk-taking dose of dread and brutality.

Review: EINKVAN, The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 9, 2025

This production is a treat. Einkvan (Everyman) is a play about connection, humanity, and intimacy. Written by Jon Fosse – the most performed Norwegian playwright after Ibsen and winner of the Nobel Prize in 2023 – it’s a haunting, longing journey. The search for compassion and kinship unfolds through parents who try to relate to their sons, to no avail. Blending dramatic practice with contemporary art and live footage, it’s very experimental, very European, and very peculiar. Directed by Kjersti Horn and presented in the original Norwegian with surtitles, it’s a deliciously highbrow, yet raw, experience.
