- July 08, 2024 House of Life is a work of theatre created by Sheep Soup that is, according to its description, “one-part sermon, one-part purge, three-parts party,” or, in simpler terms, a “travelling musical cult.” You are greeted by a bright and glittery backdrop, as well as a table full of instruments and mixing equipment, the perfect setting for a rave.

Review: ALMA MATER, Almeida Theatre by Cindy Marcolina
- July 04, 2024 Alma Mater is the byproduct of fourth-wave feminism, with faint echoes of David Mamet’s Oleanna flipped on its head and delivered with a sleight of hand.
