Review: SWEETMEAT, Old Red Lion
by Cindy Marcolina - November 08, 2024

Review: THE RITE OF SPRING/COMMON GROUND[S], Sadler’s Wells
by Matthew Paluch - November 07, 2024
Sadler’s Wells advertise The Rite of Spring / common ground[s] bill as “iconic” and I'm tempted to agree. It's rare that a programme can be so satisfying - two works so different yet complimentary, both steeped in power and intention. It's a night not to be missed that's for sure.

Review: SMOKE, King's Head Theatre
