Review: THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, Starring Ralf Little


by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 20, 2026

Author John Le Carré famously banned stage versions of his work, and he may well have felt quietly vindicated with his decision having seen David Eldridge's adaptation of his third book, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. Jeremy Herrin directs a cinematic and darkly-tinged production that ends u...

Review: BRIGHTON FRINGE REVIEW: FOR THE RECORD, Junk Poets - Caravanserai


by Caroline Cronin - May 15, 2026

​​​​​​​What if you were forced to spend eternity with your ex? That’s the deliciously awkward premise behind For The Record, in which former lovers David and Nancy reunite in a kind of musical purgatory to revisit their relationship — and wrestle with the question of what might hav...

Review: THE KEY OF DREAMS- THE SHADOWS LENGTHEN, Treowen, Wales


by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 19, 2026

It is now a few days since I left Treowen, a gorgeous 17th century Manor House set in the even-more-gorgeous Welsh countryside and I am still processing the experience. To call Lemon Difficult's The Key of Dreams simply an 'immersive experience' is to sell it very short. Where else can you spend 24...

Review: BRIGHTON FRINGE REVIEW: THE SHAPE OF THINGS UNDONE (an audio-only piece)


by Caroline Cronin - May 08, 2026

Review: THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI, starring Mark Gatiss


by Cindy Marcolina - April 26, 2026

A corrupt lot steeped in scandal puppeteers the economy. Unreasonable taxes are plaguing the people. Violence is rampant. All the while, a megalomaniac is gaining more traction by the day. Did we turn on the news, or are we watching Bertolt Brecht’s merciless satire? Seán Linnen transforms the al...
