Review: EMMA SIDI IS SUE GRAY, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - November 04, 2024
Emma Sidi is Sue Gray may be considered by some to be a satirical take on the former Downing Street Chief of Staff under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, but how can something be a satire if barely anything is known about the woman of the hour?

Review: MONICA SALVI: SPIRITS IN MY CLOSET, Stage Door Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - November 04, 2024
With cabaret, sometimes it isn't about the singer, or the song, but the singer singing the song while bouncing a drumstick off a trio of skulls. Perfectly timed for Halloween, Monica Salvi’s Spirits In My Closet is a witch’s brew containing personal stories and the supernatural musings interspersed with songs written by Tori Amos, Randy Newman and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.

Review: THE FOOD BANK SHOW, Camden People’s Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - November 02, 2024
Sam Rees’s The Food Bank Show is very aware of all the limitations of his viewership. He marries political philosophy and underground mobilisation with extensive journalistic research and humanity to provide a collaborative production that defies the rules of the genre. It’s a sophisticated invective in the form of a one-man act, a direct indictment of the failures of modern civilization. He doesn’t offer much hope or easy way-outs'; he doubles down on governmental shortcomings with a grim point of view.

Review: SLAVE: A QUESTION OF FREEDOM, Riverside Studios
by Cindy Marcolina - November 01, 2024
When we talk about slavery, our minds immediately land to the olden days of colonies and plantations; perhaps we think of the much discussed reparations provided to the victims or their descendants, or we draw back to those tedious corporate trainings that address a problem that seemingly doesn't belong to our world. The thing is, nearly 50 million people can be considered slaves today. It’s a horrifying thought.

Review: LENIO KAKLEA - ΑΓΡΊΜΙ (FAUVE), Sadler’s Wells
by Matthew Paluch - November 01, 2024
Αγρίμι (Fauve) by Lenio Kaklea is a brave piece of modern dance that should be recognised for its shunning of conventions and committed performances. As well as its “if Balenciaga did contemporary dance…” overarching feel.
