Review: WHY A BLACK WOMAN WILL NEVER BE PRIME MINISTER, Camden People's Theatre
by Josh Maughan - October 25, 2024
In every mission it sets itself upon, this play succeeds. It’s a tight hug to the communities that need it, it’s vital education to those who want to learn, it’s a wake-up call to those who are ignorant, and it’s an angry, triumphant demand for action. Zakiyyah Deen is a magnetic performer, her talent pulsates through the space.

Review: REYKJAVIK, Hampstead Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - October 25, 2024
There’s a whiff of Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem about Richard Bean’s Reykjavík. Come and raise a melancholic glass to the old world of superstition, mythic tales of magic and monsters, fated to be swallowed by the bloodless age of bureaucracy. It’s like spending an evening with that old man in the pub the light of whose eyes fades as he recounts tales of yonder realising that things ain’t what they used to be.

Review: THE WILD DUCK, Coronet Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - October 24, 2024
The Coronet's co-production with the Norwegian Ibsen Company (NIC) and Bergen's Den Nationale Scene examines the dangers of idealism through the story of the Ekdal family ripped apart by the arrival of Hjalmar Ekdal's childhood friend, Gregers Werle (also the son of wealthy industrialist Hakon). Read the review.

Review: TAROT: SHUFFLE, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - October 24, 2024
Tarot: Shuffle begins a bit differently than your average sketch show. Walking into the theatre, audience members are greeted by three performers, all wearing white nighties. Everyone is given a piece of paper with a personality test on it, with questions ranging from your ability to recognise patterns to requiring an essay of 1,000 words.

Review: THE FLEA, The Yard Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - October 23, 2024
Now this is how you do historical theatre. Eccentrically re-imagined yet alarmingly real, James Fritz's The Flea is masterfully made. The show is a quirky retelling of a forgotten piece of queer British history: in an unlikely chain of events, the secrets of a gay brothel threaten to bring down some of the country’s best-known politicians and royals.

Review: LUNA, Sadler's Wells
by Josh Maughan - October 23, 2024
Guided by the vision of five female, international choreographers, Luna narrates the complexities of womanhood-its beauty, struggles, and power. While Luna has some notably powerful moments, and the music is beautiful, it ultimately falls short in its current form.

Guest Blog: Jack Holden on Bringing True Crime to Life in KENREX
by Guest Author - October 23, 2024
Our obsession with True Crime is nothing new. Stories of wrongdoing and justice have captivated us for centuries, whether in ancient holy texts, courtroom dramas, or today’s hit podcasts. There’s a primal satisfaction in seeing justice served, especially when a villain threatens the peace of a law-abiding community. But what happens when the system fails, and a town is forced to confront that threat on its own terms? This is the chilling premise at the heart of KENREX…
