Review: JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK, Gielgud Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - October 07, 2024
A cost of living crisis, people being fit to work but choosing not to, poverty, nationalism and women's control of their own bodies. Seán O'Casey's Juno and the Paycock may have first been performed at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in 1924, but a century later, his tragicomedy resonates more strongly than ever.

Review: NOWHERE, Battersea Arts Centre
by Cindy Marcolina - October 05, 2024
The world is a dark place. Every day, we seem to edge closer to the start of another global conflict. Nowhere is safe. War and destruction have become steady protagonists on our television screens, to the point where we’re growing increasingly desensitised to violence.

Review: FOREVERLAND, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - October 05, 2024
Would you undergo a procedure that would easily and painlessly grant you to live eternally? Writer Emma Hemingford theorises a future where the extension of life has become as normal as getting Botox. But, unlike plastic surgery, the practice raises ethical and social issues. The benefits span protracted career opportunities and more time to spend with your loved ones, but at what cost?

In 70 minutes, Louise Orwin's performance piece aims to successfully interrogate the fastest growing and one of the most popular social media platforms in the world; Tik Tok. Is it perfect? No. But her form is smart, her commentary is sharp, and she’s a joyous performer.

Review: ONE OF THE BOYS, The Playground Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - October 04, 2024
Tim Edge’s sophomore project is described as a nail-biting show that uncovers the dark truths of vicious competition and ferocious career moves. The production over-promises and under-delivers. It’s not only plagued by a debilitating case of women-written-by-a-man, it’s also predictable and formulaic.

Review: THE RIVER, Greenwich Theatre
by Matthew Paluch - October 04, 2024
I think Jez Butterworth must love fishing, as his 2012 play The River spends quite a lot of the time talking about the intricacies of the pastime. If one doesn't partake it can make the text a little monotonous at times…but of course there's more to take from the overall experience.
