Review: THE WAVES, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Apr 22, 2026

Virginia Woolf isn’t the easiest author to adapt for the stage, and her lesser-known 1931 experimental novel The Waves presents a particularly interesting dramaturgical challenge. Six friends meet at school, and undergo the typical trials of a bildungsroman, all within an ambitious stream of multiple consciousnesses, where characters hop in and out of each other’s minds.

Review: AETHER, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Mar 17, 2026

Aether is, above all else, strikingly original. It’s hard to draw comparisons for a show so unapologetically strange and ambitious. It combines very technical and theoretical scientific language with dance sequences and multi-roling, in a piece of theatre that feels akin to an oxymoron.
