BWW Review: LUCY PEARMAN: FRUIT LOOP, Soho Theatre
Lucy Pearman is a comedienne that's unfamiliar to me, but after watching their stellar show Fruit Loop the other evening, they are now cemented in my brain as someone very special.
BWW Review: BURKE AND HARE, Jermyn Street Theatre
It's 1828 in Edinburgh and medical advances are running as fast as the number of cadavers are low.

BWW Review: GUYS AND DOLLS, The Mill at Sonning
Guys and Dolls has come to the Mill at Sonning, and brought with it all the sleazy music, flashy dancing, and good, clean fun you could want in an evening.
BWW Review: PLAID TIDINGS, Bridge House Theatre
Plaid Tidings is a show full of grand old Christmas songs delivered beautifully by four gifted vocalists.
BWW Review: SWAN LAKE, Bristol Hippodrome
From folk tales to fairy tales to festive (nut)crackers, Tchaikovsky's trio of 19th-century compositions, originally choreographed by Petipa and Ivanov for the Imperial Russian company, are the crowning glory of the classical canon.

BWW Review: AN HONOURABLE MAN, White Bear Theatre
An Honourable Man is bold in its ambition and gets a lot of details right, but its excellent first half gives way to a theatrically disappointing conclusion.
