Review: CONCRETE LATES X FABRIC: BLACKHAINE, Southbank Centre by Matthew Paluch
- September 14, 2024 The Queen Elizabeth Hall Foyer turned into a gig venue on September 13th for Concrete Lates x Fabric. The lights were low, the crowd was very cool, and the “iconic electronic music institution Fabric” was celebrated for the role it's played in the dance music scene over the last 25 years.
Review: THE REAL ONES, Bush Theatre by Katie Kirkpatrick
- September 13, 2024 At once intimate and expansive, The Real Ones follows the friendship of Zaid and Neelam from age nineteen to thirty-six. Once kindred spirits, moving in sync, they fall out of step when the harsh reality of adult life sends them in different directions. Waleed Akhtar (Olivier winner for The P Word) pens a sharply observed look into whether platonic love can last.
Review: RHYTHM & RUSE, The Vaults by Franco Milazzo
- September 13, 2024 With a Jazz Age theme and plenty of cabaret, cocktails and close-up magic, London’s latest slab of immersive fun Rhythm & Ruse opens at The Vaults.
Review: BBC PROMS: PROM 70 – PROKOFIEV'S ROMEO AND JULIET, Royal Albert Hall by Debbie Gilpin
- September 13, 2024 Another helping of Shakespeare, in this otherwise rather Eastern European-themed Prom. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales was guided through the evening’s events by Principal Guest Conductor Jaime Martín, who seemed to relish every moment of his appearance on the Royal Albert Hall stage, and brought the best out of the ensemble because of it. This lent a distinctly theatrical feel to the whole event, the first two pieces complementing Romeo and Juliet to great effect.

Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY, Stratford East by Cindy Marcolina
- September 13, 2024 The Seventies were a time for cheesy pineapple, bellbottom jeans, Elton John, and ABBA. Written in 1977, Mike Leigh’s darkly comic picture of the English middle class turns out to be an evergreen classic. Revived some ten miles from the story’s real-life setting, this is Nadia Fall’s last show as Artistic Director of the venue and features known ‘EastEnder’ Tamzin Outhwaite as Beverly Moss.

Review: WHY AM I SO SINGLE?, Garrick Theatre by Aliya Al-Hassan
- September 12, 2024 Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss' new show Why Am I So Single? is billed as 'A big fancy musical'. Bright, bold and funny, it is unashamedly focused on the Gen-Z experience, but gets lost with indulgent in-jokes, repetition and an over-long running time.

Review: KIRILL RICHTER - THE SANDS OF TIME, London Coliseum by Franco Milazzo
- September 12, 2024 Have you ever invited a guest to your own party and then seen them totally upstage you? If so, spare some sympathy for Kirill Richter who presented his new work The Sands Of Time alongside the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan for one night only at the London Coliseum.

Review: OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD, Lyric Hammersmith by Alexander Cohen
- September 12, 2024 Is it serendipity or a testament to good writing? A day after the government mandate two thousand prisoners to enjoy an early release a new production of Our Country’s Good premieres: a play about deported British convicts forging a new life in newly colonised Australia couldn’t be timelier.

Review: THE BELT- PAST & FUTURE, Coronet Theatre by Matthew Paluch
- September 12, 2024 I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again…but what The Coronet Theatre is doing feels new, relevant and exciting. Currently on show is The Belt - Past & Future by Korea's Ambiguous Dance Company. The work is The Coronet's first-ever site-specific event, and I think it's an absolute corker.
Review: KIM'S CONVENIENCE, Riverside Studios by Josh Maughan
- September 12, 2024 Kim’s Convenience is a tight hug of a show. There’s enough here for plenty of laughter and a little bit of heartstring-pulling. It’s not trying to be the next breakthrough or radical piece, and therefore, in its form, it’s great. If you’re looking for some warmth as the weather grows colder, add a trip to Kim’s Convenience to your ‘to-do’ list.
