Review: THE W.I.G OF LIFE: A CONFERENCE, Riverside Studios by Kat Mokrynski
- July 12, 2024 Entering Riverside Studios, you are greeted by two performers dressed in grey bodysuits and bright blue bob wigs, speaking to you in monotonous tones. Going into the theatre itself, the set is nothing but wigs. Wigs worn by the performers, wigs hanging from the ceiling, wigs on mannequin heads on the floor. What exactly is happening?

Review: VISIT FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, Hampstead Theatre by Alexander Cohen
- July 12, 2024 The lights flash on, a writer stumbles into his scantly decorated flat. A woman follows, champagne on her breath, flirtatious glances smuggled between them. It’s late at night and the inevitability of retiring to the bedroom looms. But it is not what it seems.

Review: DORIAN: THE MUSICAL, Southwark Playhouse by Cindy Marcolina
- July 11, 2024 However, penned by Joe Evans (score and lyrics) and Linnie Reedman (book and direction), Dorian is an awkward production that’s supposedly adapting the mores and morals of the time for a social media-obsessed audience. They reimagine the protagonist as a lonely rocker who gains overnight popularity after producer Harry Wotton takes him under his wing. Basil Hallward becomes Baz, a celebrity photographer charmed by the young star, while Sibyl Vane is a besotted opera singer. We wish we could say it works, but the team desecrates the original material - and not in a good way. Sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll have never looked so dull and unappealing.
