BWW Review: THE MUTANT MAN, The Space Arts Centre
The Mutant Man is a fractured, multi-layered telling of a true story of a man who was born as a woman and how his treatment at the hands of an exploitative, unenlightened society led to tragedy.

BWW Review: DRACULA: THE BLOODY TRUTH , Exeter Northcott Theatre
Exeter based Le Navet Bete have teamed up with the Exeter Northcott Theatre to present a unique play about the world's most famous vampire.
BWW Review: CHESS, Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's latest ambitious venture is a visually stunning production of Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Tim Rice's hit 1980s pop musical.
BWW Review: A PASSIONATE WOMAN, Exeter Northcott
The complexities of the mother and son relationship are not easy to depict.
BWW Review: ESCAPED ALONE, Bristol Old Vic
Caryl Churchill has rightly claimed her spot as one Britain's greatest living playwrights but her latest work Escaped Alone, falls short of her best.
BWW Review: ONE LOVE, Birmingham Repertory Theatre
Birmingham Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere production of One Love: The Bob Marley Musical.
BWW Review: RUDDYGORE, King's Theatre, Edinburgh
The Edinburgh Gilbert & Sullivan Society's latest venture combines sparkling performances, modern references and excellent sound design in one of G&S's less well known comic operas.
BWW Review: DARK VANILLA JUNGLE, Theatre N16
Philip Ridley's dystopian nightmare has moments of poetry and humour but is ultimately just too relentlessly grim and must be endured rather than enjoyed.
BWW Review: FUNNY GIRL, Bristol Hippodrome
'I'm the greatest star, I am by far, but no one knows it' is the claim by aspiring vaudeville music show actress Fanny Brice at the top of Funny Girl.
BWW Review: MY BRILLIANT FRIEND PARTS 1 & 2, Rose Theatre
Naples is brought to London, as we track the extraordinary lives of Lila and Lenu in an adaptation of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels that overreaches itself.
BWW Review: THREESOME, Union Theatre
Threesome is often crude, sometimes boldly empowering and occasionally shows a glimpse of something more sophisticated emerging, but ultimately falls a little short on laughs.
BWW Review: ROMAN TRAGEDIES, Barbican Theatre
Extraordinary, astonishing, unmissable five star production that brings three of Shakespeare's plays up to date in an electrifying production that should not be missed.
BWW Review: AFTER PARTY, Pleasance Theatre
After Party sees tensions, long since buried, bubble to the surface, as one of the old gang returns from prison to settle old scores and reclaim what he believes to be his.
BWW Review: SEVENTEEN, Lyric Hammersmith
Seventeen captures a cathartic moment in young people's lives - the last day at school - but does not reach its potential due to a largely lacklustre script.
BWW Review: SHIRLEY VALENTINE, New Alexandra Theatre
Known for his strong female characters, from Educating Rita to Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers, Willy Russell's Shirley Valentine stands head and shoulders above his other work as an in depth exploration of what it was really like to be a woman in the 1980s.
BWW Review: WISDOM OF A FOOL, LOST Theatre
Wisdom of a Fool resurrects the much loved Norman Wisdom in Jack Lane's respectful and entertaining show that charts his rags-to-riches story.
BWW Review: HANDBAGGED, Jack Studio Theatre
Handbagged imagines what was said by Mrs Thatcher and The Queen in their weekly meetings to hilarious effect in Moira Buffini's award-winning satire.
BWW Review: YOU'RE HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF THEM, Finborough Theatre
Three short plays introduce the writing of BS Johnson, a revered man of English letters whose influence resonates through the last 50 years.
BWW Review: IONESCO - DINNER AT THE SMITHS', The Latvian House
Ionesco's absurd theatre brought to life in a handsome production that is full of wit and humour, but never loses its avant garde character.
BWW Review: SNOW IN MIDSUMMER, Royal Shakespeare Company
Snow in Midsummer is a modern retelling of an ancient Chinese drama, which marks the start of an ambitious cultural project translating Eastern classics into English, and Shakespeare into Chinese.
BWW Review: PLASTIC, Ustinov Studio, Bath
It's ironic that this first production of The Ustinov Studio's German season should be concerned with that most British of subjects- class.
BWW Review: SWIFTIES, Theatre N16
Swifties examines the obsessive nature of fandom, as dress-up and role play turns into something much more sinister in this reinvention of Jean Genet's The Maids.
BWW Review: HAMLET, Almeida Theatre
Hamlet anew in this technology infused but oh so human production of Shakespeare's great tragedy in which Andrew Scott gives us a warm, flawed, and eventually mad Prince.
