Review: FORCED ENTERTAINMENT: SIGNAL TO NOISE, Queen Elizabeth Hall
by Louise Penn - October 11, 2024
For Forced Entertainment, a linear story or a place without the space to play would be unthinkable. Signal To Noise is a piece of theatre like no other. I highly recommend you let the creativity wash over you. You won't see anything else like this, and you will definitely come away with something to think about.

Review: EURYDICE, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - October 11, 2024
Greek mythology has always had a hold on pop culture, but it seems like it’s taken a place of honour in recent times - especially on stage. Just a few streets down from the Lyric, where Eurydice and Orpheus fall in love every night in Anaïs Mitchell’s musical, Jermyn Street Theatre focuses on the myth’s tragic heroine with Sarah Rhul’s eponymous play. Directed by Stella Powell-Jones, the project is an exquisite addition to the landscape, perfect for those mourning the cancellation of Netflix’s Kaos.

Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY, Gillian Lynne Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - October 10, 2024
One of my biggest bugbears in theatre is a production that remains on stage well past its welcome. Overlong and flabby shows do neither the audience nor the show itself any favours. It is therefore a huge endorsement for me to state that a production of nearly three and a half hours really is worth every second of your time.

Review: GIGI & DAR, Arcola Theatre
by Robert Vesty - October 10, 2024
Two young women, Gigi and Dar, are dressed in khaki and clutch machine guns. They are guarding a roadblock and out to kill time. With just six of their 730 days of conscription to go until they can return to Civvy Street, their fantasies about the future (travels, marriage and internships) are beginning to fizz. See what our critic had to say.
