BWW Review: COUNTING SHEEP, VAULT Festival
Mark and Marichka Marczyk fought in the Kiev Uprising in 2014.
BWW Review: WAR HORSE, SEC Armadillo Glasgow
Courage, friendship, determination and hope, War Horse is a love story like no other.
BWW Review: OPEN, VAULT Festival
Christopher Adams and Timothy Allsop draw on their real-life experience to paint a vivid picture of an open couple.
BWW Review: DANGEROUS LENSES, VAULT Festival
A man and his daughter move into Ann's block of flats, except that he says there's no little girl with him.
BWW Review: KOMPROMAT, VAULT Festival
Written by David Thame, Kompromat was inspired by the still-unsolved murder of a GCHQ agent and sees young Zac (Max Rinehart) coming to terms with his action.
BWW Review: BLUE DEPARTED, VAULT Festival
Anima Theatre Company present Blue Departed, a show marketed as a re-imagination of Dante's Inferno.
BWW Review: WISE CHILDREN, Bristol Old Vic
'Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people' writes Angela Carter in her 1992 book Wise Children and that is the starting point for Emma Rice's furiously fast adaptation in this, the first outing for her newly formed theatre company of the same name.
BWW Review: DANIELLE WALKER: BUSH RAT, Soho Theatre
Danielle Walker: Bush Rat takes on the tricky task of examining a largely happy family for comic material and, aside from a few references to the strange ways of Outback Australia, inevitably comes up short.
BWW Review: AMERICAN IDIOT, Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
American Idiot brings Green Day's much-loved album to life in a punk-rock production that rebels against the musical archetype and vigorously sticks its middle finger up to everything and anything that gets in its way.
BWW Review: LES MISERABLES, Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
This brilliant new staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed 'Les Mis for the 21stCentury'.
BWW Review: SHOWSTOPPER! THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL, The Other Palace
The Other Palace was intended to be a 'space where writers and producers can try out and refine new work'.
BWW Review: LEAVE TO REMAIN, Lyric Hammersmith
It's the end of an era at the Lyric Hammersmith, as it is Sean Holmes' final season as artistic director - but it has begun in terrific style with the premiere of a new play with music, written by Matt Jones and Bloc Party singer-songwriter Kele Okereke.
BWW Review: WHEN WE HAVE SUFFICIENTLY TORTURED EACH OTHER, National Theatre
Step away from the returns queue.
BWW Review: DEAR ELIZABETH, Gate Theatre
Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, two of America's most brilliant poets, wrote over 800 pages of letters to each other.
BWW Review: KIERAN HODGSON: '75, Soho Theatre
Kieran Hodgson dissects the history of the UK's relationship with Europe in this funny, poignant and wonderfully well-informed show.
BWW Review: NOTRE DAME DE PARIS, London Coliseum
It is difficult to overestimate how popular Notre Dame de Paris is in France, leaving audiences in raptures for twenty years.
BWW Review: VIOLET, Charing Cross Theatre
What a strange thing is Violet - indeed, what a strange thing is Violet, our eponymous heroine.
BWW Review: ASPHODEL MEADOWS/THE TWO PIGEONS, Royal Opera House
With the last remains of glittery Nutcracker magic now behind us for another year, just two days after the end of the run of the festive classic, the Royal Ballet return with a fun, bright and uplifting mixed bill to ease us through January.
BWW Review: STRICTLY COME DANCING LIVE, Arena Birmingham
With the TV series having only finished in December, Strictly Come Dancing 2018 is still very much fresh in people's minds.
BWW Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Southwark Playhouse
Following Macbeth in 2016 and The Tempest in 2017, Southwark Playhouse presents Twelfth Night as part of their Shakespeare For Schools programme.
BWW Review: A MODEST LITTLE MAN, Bread and Roses Theatre
A Modest Little Man tells us something of the man and his achievements, Clement Attlee surrounded by egos and rivals (talented though) in this gem of a political comedy.
BWW Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY, Theatre Royal Brighton
Those who have attended an excruciatingly awkward cocktail party will revel in this production of Abigail's Party by Mike Leigh.
BWW Review: MANON, London Coliseum
Manon is not a ballet for the #MeToo era.
