Review: BETWEEN THE LINES, New Diorama Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - May 09, 2024
Sparks fly in this plucky grime infused play, but it doesn't quite catch fire
Review: THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR, Marylebone Theatre
by Mica Blackwell - May 09, 2024
Nikolai Gogol's 1836 satire The Government Inspector caused a stir for calling out the Russian government's corruption. It's easy to see why Peter Myers wanted to bring its relevant story to the stage two centuries later, but the biting commentary under the silliness is lost in translation in this chaotic production in spite of the talent onstage.
Review: VANITY FAIR, Open Bar Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 09, 2024
Pub garden theatre specialist Open Bar Theatre has returned for a spring season with a deft and slightly chaotic version of William Thackeray's Vanity Fair.

Brighton Fringe Review: WHOA MAMA!, Spiegeltent, Bosco Theatre
by Caroline Cronin - May 09, 2024
The strapline for Stephanie Ware’s WHOA MAMA! had me intrigued – a one woman comedy about a 40-something woman and her choice to remain childfree. There’s certainly no shortage of rhetoric on this subject, particularly on social media where the childfree “movement” has a real chokehold. But the concept of a clownish comedy that explores the “opinions, arguments and science” behind this choice felt like a fresh take.
Review: SPIRITED AWAY, London Coliseum
by Cindy Marcolina - May 09, 2024
Hayao Miyazaki’s legacy is one for the ages. The co-founder of Studio Ghibli revolutionised the Western consumption of anime and set a new standard for Japanese animated films. London isn’t a stranger to the stage adaptations of his creations: a major example is My Neighbour Totoro, which took up shop at the Barbican to great acclaim last year and has already announced a West End run for next year.
