BWW Review: THE GIFT, Theatre Royal Stratford East
How do you see yourself? What seems like a fairly straightforward question can actually be far more complex than you might think a?" and if your own lived experience deviates even slightly from what other people expect, you may find yourself repeatedly fielding the same queries as both sides seek to
BWW Review: LA BOHEME, ROH Live
On paper, the story of Puccini's La bohème veers towards sentimentality, but witnessing a live production rarely fails to stir deep emotion.
BWW Review: PERSONA, Riverside Studios
Persona transfers somewhat uneasily from screen to stage in Paul Schoolman's new adaptation, but retains its intellectual heft and eerily subversive quality.
BWW Review: FAUSTUS: THAT DAMNED WOMAN, Lyric Hammersmith
If like many you find yourself wishing you could change the world right now, you might want to first pop down to the Lyric Hammersmith to see Chris Bush's Faustus: That Damned Woman.
BWW Review: RUSSIAN BALLET ICONS GALA, London Coliseum

BWW Review: THE SUGAR SYNDROME, Orange Tree Theatre

BWW Review: THE SUNSET LIMITED, Boulevard Theatre
a?oeWhat is a true book?a?? Cormac McCarthy's early attempts to distinguish the nature of fiction in The Sunset Limited are, at the very least, ironic.
BWW Review: ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS, Bristol Old Vic
When Romantics Anonymous originally premiered at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in 2017, it received wonderful reviews and there was such a joyful buzz surrounding this show that I unfortunately didn't get to experience for myself.
BWW Review: MACBETH, Wilton's Music Hall
The curse struck again on press night of The Watermill Theatre's London transfer of Macbeth, with Lauryn Redding (allegedly) dislocating both knees during Paul Hart's energetic opening.
BWW Review: UNCLE VANYA, Harold Pinter Theatre
This is an Vanya for 2020 that loses nothing in Conor McPherson's sublime update.
BWW Review: SEX/CRIME, Soho Theatre
A and B meet to recreate the feats of a famously homosexual serial killer who's haunting the streets of London.
BWW Review: THE WELKIN, National Theatre
How can we know more about a comet in outer space than we do a woman's body? So queries Lucy Kirkwood's superb new history play a?' a feminist courtroom drama that's equal parts Twelve Angry Men, The Crucible and The Vagina Monologues, plus a dash of searing, up-to-the-minute political and social co
BWW Review: SCENES WITH GIRLS, Royal Court
a?oeIt was human tapioca.
BWW Review: FACES IN THE CROWD, Gate Theatre
A nameless woman starts writing a novel in Mexico City.

Everybody's Talking About Jamie tells the heartwarming story of an outgoing young man with a dream to be a drag queen which cannot fail to move and delight in equal measure.
BWW Review: THE CANARY AND THE CROW, Arcola Theatre
Daniel Ward's autobiographical tale, told as gig theatre, has plenty to say and says it well - we would be wise to listen.
BWW Review: YOU STUPID DARKNESS!, Southwark Playhouse

BWW Review: BECKETT TRIPLE BILL, Jermyn Street Theatre
When even a single play by Samuel Beckett might become a test of endurance for an audience, putting three of them together risks missing the mark.
BWW Review: HAMLET: ROTTEN STATES, The Hope Theatre
