Since its release in 1985 Back to the Future has been an iconic film.

BWW Review: THE MEMORY OF WATER, Hampstead Theatre
Memories are fickle things.
BWW Review: THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE, Minerva Theatre, Chichester
This landmark play in Anglo-Irish drama gets a superb revival in a space that could have been designed exactly for its claustrophobic tale of familial obligations and missed opportunities

Emily Head (The Inbetweeners, Emmerdale, The Syndicate) plays all the characters in the intriguing production which was filmed live on stage in a single camera take at the New Wolsey Theatre.
BWW Review: IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLACK DOG, King's Head Theatre
“Where do men go to grieve?” a failed relationship, a fixer-upper job in a pub, a sudden fear of dying, and now his best friend’s suicide are breaking Daniel Hallissey’s character.
BWW Review: GREAT EXPECTATIONS, Rotherhithe Playhouse
Phil Willmott brings his years of experience to bear on the familiar story and pulls a fantastic set of performances from his totally committed cast
BWW Review: PINK LEMONADE, Bush Theatre
The 2019 Edinburgh Fringe hit comes to London with high-quality production values intact.
BWW Review: FROZEN, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
I would hesitant a guess to say that most of us know about Disney’s colossus beast, Frozen.

BWW Review: LEOPARDS, Rose Theatre
Hot button topics keep coming, but the drama gets lost a little in Alys Metcalf's new play
BWW Review: ORFEO ED EURIDICE / ZANETTO, Arcola Outside
The Grimeborn Festival presents two short operas concerning love failing to land as required, leading to tragic consequences
BWW Review: INVISIBLE ME, New Wimbledon Theatre Studio
If life is 'what happens when you're making other plans' what if you actually act on those other plans - at 60 years of age?

Winsome Pinnock's new political play finally gets a full run at the National, after its Royal Exchange Theatre premiere was curtailed due to Covid.
BWW Review: STATEMENTS AFTER AN ARREST UNDER THE IMMORALITY ACT, Orange Tree Theatre
Famous for his overtly political works against apartheid, Athol Fugard is probably South Africa's most highly regarded playwright.

“Everything about him was too big, too heavy, too hard” and yet the abominations of his behaviour went unaddressed for the majority of Donna’s life.
BWW Review: KISS HER, Camden People's Theatre
In 1921, female homosexuality was discussed in Parliament for the very first time.
BWW Review: PAINTING BY NUMBERS, Lion & Unicorn Theatre
All artists must think they’re better than anybody else, even if only by a little bit, or they must be convinced they have something to say at least.
BWW Review: ONCE UPON A TIME IN NAZI OCCUPIED TUNISIA, Almeida Theatre
Set in Tunisia in 1942, this new play sparkles with wit, but its exploration of the undercurrent of antisemitism that flows through even the most cosmopolitan of societies tells us much about today.
BWW Review: 100 PAINTINGS, Bread & Roses Theatre
In a room at the Savoy, an Artist is desperately trying to deliver 100 artworks to the new manager to pay the bills.
BWW Review: THREE WAY, The Lion & Unicorn Theatre
