The curse of being a woman is that you will forever know anger.
Review: WHO KILLED MARILYN?, The Emerald Theatre
In a time when the media’s obsession with young troubled Hollywood women continues to be rampant, there could be merit behind the ethics of reexamining Marilyn Monroe’s death.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: BRON LEWIS: CHAOS, Pleasance Courtyard
Bron Lewis is taking a break from her three warring children, work-from-home partner, one-year old puppy and the constant smell in her house by travelling to the other side of world to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Review: BEFORE WE FORGET, Bush Theatre
Created by the 18-25 Bush Young Company alongside theatre practitioner Amber Ruby, Before We Forget is a dystopian evaluation of what the act of remembering could look like in a not-too-distant future.
Review: BBC PROMS: MILES DAVIS CENTENARY, Royal Albert Hall
American jazz trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire joins the BBC Concert Orchestra and Miho Hazama for a celebration of jazz legend Miles Davis on the centenary of his birth.
Review: BBC PROMS: ARIADNE AUF NAXOS, Royal Albert Hall
This production, direct from Glyndebourne, is a delight from start to finish, with laughter and glorious voices leading to a true emotional climax to send us soaring into the summer night.
Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY, Starring Tamzin Outhwaite, Harold Pinter Theatre
Nadia Fall is now firmly ensconced in her role as Artistic Director of the Young Vic, but her final show at Stratford East back in 2024 was a brilliantly realised revival of Mike Leigh's seminal work, Abigail's Party.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: TOM CASHMAN: NPC (Nearly Proficient Comedian), Monkey Barrel Comedy
'I do more jokes than any other comedian; I am that fast.
Review: JEEVES TAKES CHARGE, Charing Cross Theatre
First seen 45 years ago, the Olivier Award-winning Jeeves Takes Charge returns to London for a short season at the Charing Cross Theatre.
Review: PEAKY BLINDERS UNDERWORLD, Arches London Bridge
It’s engaging, well-designed, fully immersive, and thoroughly considered.
Review: BBC PROMS: SWEDISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA - BEETHOVEN AND BAROQUE, Royal Albert Hall
“Do you believe in a life after birth?” Sunday morning was no ordinary Prom, as Martin Fröst and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra delved into the idea of exploring the DNA of Beethoven via new interpretations of works by the likes of Handel and Rambeau, as well as the world première BBC co-commis
Review: BBC PROMS: PAPPANO CONDUCTS BERLIOZ’S ‘REQUIEM’, Royal Albert Hall
First performed at Les Invalides in Paris in 1837, Hector Berlioz’s Requiem (“Grande messe des morts”) is music and spectacle on a grand scale.
Review: BBC PROMS: MARVIN GAYE - PRINCE OF SOUL, Royal Albert Hall
At 7pm on Friday, wildfire alerts pinged on phones across the UK - but for those of us in the Royal Albert Hall it served as an early warning system for the heat that would be generated by the BBC Proms tribute to Marvin Gaye.
Review: BBC PROMS: ELGAR'S CELLO CONCERTO, Royal Albert Hall
With a trio of 20th century classics, this Prom is competent and enjoyable, but lacking that touch of something special.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: SHOWSTOPPER! THE KIDS SHOW, Pleasance Courtyard
Six extraordinary musical theatre performers take to the stage with one seemingly impossible task: create a brand new musical from scratch, based entirely on suggestions from the children in the audience.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ROCKPOOLS, Bunker Three, Pleasance Courtyard
Unless one happens to have read the programme notes beforehand, it’s not immediately obvious that Rockpools is a play about endometriosis.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: ED GAUGHAN: THE EMPEROR, Just The Tonic At The Caves
Ed Gaughan is extremely good at accents.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: TARANG HARDIKAR: IF I'M NOT WRONG, Pleasance Courtyard
Tarang Hardikar’s Edinburgh Fringe debut is an hour of wonderfully curious comedy, in which no thought is too small to escape scrutiny.
Review: TCHAÏKOVSKY: CHILD OF GLASS, Opera Holland Park
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky can surely claim to be one of the world's most talented and memorable composers.
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: JESS ROBINSON: ELTON REIMAGINED: Assembly George Square Gardens
Jess Robinson does not simply impersonate the stars.

What did our critic think of AOIFE DUNNE: GOOD GRIEF at Gilded Balloon Teviot?
EDINBURGH 2026: Review: DEMI ADEJUYIGBE SELLS OUT, Queen Dome at Pleasance Dome
Demi Adejuyigbe Sells Out is a light-hearted, sharp hour of musical talent and witty comedy.
