Review: EDINBURGH 2024: RACHEL FAIRBURN: SHOWGIRL, Underbelly, Bristo Square
by Christiana Rose - August 19, 2024
Fairburn fulfils the show’s title by appearing in a fabulous sequin jumpsuit and fluorescent tassels, entering to warm and rapturous applause. The set begins and the laughs are instantaneous in response to Fairburn’s winning, vibrant personality and blunt outlook of no-nonsense social commentary, which sets the tone for the duration. Fairburn’s presence is commanding, thrilling and utterly addictive.

Review: NORTHBOUND BOY, King's Head Theatre
by Josh Maughan - August 16, 2024
A venue that champions queer stories in an extraordinary way is The King's Head Theatre, now home to James Hogan’s new queer comedy, Northbound Boy. With a fantastic cast at its helm, Northbound Boy has the makings of a fascinating insight into the queer experience, however, it falls short in its current makeup.

Review: COCKFOSTERS, Turbine Theatre
by Mica Blackwell - August 16, 2024
A laugh-out loud riot perfect for anyone who’s put up with the London Underground, Cockfosters captures the love-hate relationship we’ve all had with it over the last 160 years. With a cast who nail the comedy and are having the time of their lives, I urge you to get the next train to Battersea Power Station Station (not a typo) to see it.

Review: PEANUT BUTTER AND BLUEBERRIES, Kiln Theatre
by Louise Penn - August 15, 2024
Peanut Butter and Blueberries is original, sweet, touching and vibrant. It is extremely refreshing to see a play about the British Muslim experience where trauma and tradition are, of course, acknowledged, but are not the main focus of the drama. As this is Manzoor-Khan's first play, it will be fascinating to see what she tackles next.

Review: ANTONY & CLEOPATRA, Shakespeare's Globe
by Debbie Gilpin - August 14, 2024
'Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.' Aside from a couple of Horrible Histories songs, most people probably know Cleopatra for her unique manner of death - almost certainly an apocryphal story (it's far more likely that she simply poisoned herself), but that and her ill-fated relationship with Mark Antony clearly piqued William Shakespeare's interest.

Review: BBC PROMS: PROM 33 – TITANS OF BRITISH MUSIC, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - August 14, 2024
There has always been much conjecture over what it really means to be British – most recently, a group of self-proclaimed “patriots” got together and trashed libraries, independent businesses, and community hubs across the country in the name of supposedly getting their country back. This, of course, isn't patriotism at all. Something that is often held up as a paragon of Britishness, however, is the Proms season; outside of the famous Last Night, this year's Prom 33 may end up being the most quintessentially British of the lot.
