BWW Review: THREESOME, Union Theatre
Threesome is often crude, sometimes boldly empowering and occasionally shows a glimpse of something more sophisticated emerging, but ultimately falls a little short on laughs.

BWW Review: ROMAN TRAGEDIES, Barbican Theatre
Extraordinary, astonishing, unmissable five star production that brings three of Shakespeare's plays up to date in an electrifying production that should not be missed.
BWW Review: LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, New Wimbledon Theatre
Literally translated, La Cage aux Folles means 'the cage of mad women'.
BWW Review: AFTER PARTY, Pleasance Theatre
After Party sees tensions, long since buried, bubble to the surface, as one of the old gang returns from prison to settle old scores and reclaim what he believes to be his.
BWW Review: SEVENTEEN, Lyric Hammersmith
Seventeen captures a cathartic moment in young people's lives - the last day at school - but does not reach its potential due to a largely lacklustre script.
BWW Review: PROJECT POLUNIN, Sadler's Wells
One will rarely see Sadler's Wells brimming with more anticipation than at the premiere of a Sergei Polunin triple bill.
BWW Review: LIMEHOUSE, Donmar Warehouse
Limehouse focuses on the events concerning the founding of the Social Democratic Party (the SDP) and the drafting of the Limehouse Declaration that led to it.
BWW Review: NOT DEAD ENOUGH, Richmond Theatre
Not Dead Enough is the third novel by best-selling crime writer Peter James to be adapted by Shaun McKenna and directed by Ian Talbot.
BWW Review: A DARK NIGHT IN DALSTON, Park Theatre
Stewart Permutt's two-hander is the latest piece to run in Park Theatre's Park90 performance space, running alongside Action To The Word's A Clockwork Orange in Park200.
BWW Review: HONEYMOON IN VEGAS, London Palladium
Fresh from the success of The Last Five Years at the former St James Theatre, which culminated in a WhatsOnStage Award for Best Off-West End Production, acclaimed composer Jason Robert Brown last night joined a stellar cast for a one-off concert performance of his Broadway hit Honeymoon In Vegas.
BWW Review: OVERTURE LIVE - THE MUSIC OF DANIEL AND LAURA CURTIS, The Hippodrome
Daniel and Laura Curtis showcase their current album, Overture, and give us a glimpse or two of emerging work, the songs belted out by A list West End performers.
BWW Review: DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG, Royal Opera House
Is it possible that Kasper Holten, Covent Garden's outgoing director of opera, has directed a Meistersinger about himself? It certainly looks a lot like it.
BWW Review: WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, Harold Pinter Theatre
Much has been written about the snack ban instigated by this Edward Albee revival at the behest of its star, Imelda Staunton.
BWW Review: THE MISER, Garrick Theatre
Following stints in Bath and Richmond, Sean Foley and Phil Porter's new adaptation of the Moliere classic is now in the West End's Garrick Theatre for a limited run.
AN AMERICAN IN PARIS Pirouettes Into The West End
Following wildly successful runs in Paris and New York, four-time Tony Award-winning An American in Paris is currently previewing at London's Dominion Theatre and is set to officially open in just over a week's time.
BWW Review: SHIRLEY VALENTINE, New Alexandra Theatre
Known for his strong female characters, from Educating Rita to Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers, Willy Russell's Shirley Valentine stands head and shoulders above his other work as an in depth exploration of what it was really like to be a woman in the 1980s.
BWW Review: MADE IN INDIA, Soho Theatre
For Eva (Gina Isaac), Aditi (Ulrika Krishnamurti), and Dr Gupta (Syreeta Kumar), the first's desire to have a baby has three distinct meanings: the achievement of a lifetime, a way out of poverty, and capital.
BWW Review: PATIENCE, Hackney Empire
'What a very singularly deep young man that deep young man must be!' You don't have to look very far in selfie-taking 2017 for an equivalent to the narcissism and aestheticism that are so thoroughly sent up in Gilbert and Sullivan's 1881 Patience.
BWW Review: WISDOM OF A FOOL, LOST Theatre
Wisdom of a Fool resurrects the much loved Norman Wisdom in Jack Lane's respectful and entertaining show that charts his rags-to-riches story.
BWW Review: ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD, Old Vic
Fifty years on, Tom Stoppard's absurdist tragicomedy is back in the theatre where it had its professional premiere, and still just as dazzlingly virtuosic.
BWW Review: HANDBAGGED, Jack Studio Theatre
Handbagged imagines what was said by Mrs Thatcher and The Queen in their weekly meetings to hilarious effect in Moira Buffini's award-winning satire.
BWW Review: YOU'RE HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF THEM, Finborough Theatre
Three short plays introduce the writing of BS Johnson, a revered man of English letters whose influence resonates through the last 50 years.
BWW Review: THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL, Southwark Playhouse
Based on the graphic novel of the same name, Alexander Parker and Amy Ewbank's production of The Diary of a Teenage Girl is the latest show in The Little at Southwark Playhouse.
BWW Review: A PROFOUNDLY AFFECTIONATE, PASSIONATE DEVOTION TO SOMEONE (-NOUN), Royal Court
Debbie Tucker Green's latest work, a profoundly affectionate, passionate devotion to someone (-noun) has its premiere with an unexpected staging in the Royal Court's Jerwood Theatre Upstairs.
BWW Review: GASLIGHT, Richmond Theatre
Patrick Hamilton's Gaslight had its premiere in Richmond Theatre in 1938 and so it seems suitable for it to end its UK tour in the same setting.
