Review: LAUGHING BOY, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 01, 2024
When Connor dies whilst in the care of the NHS, his mum, Sara, wants answers. Premiering under Stephen Unwin’s taut direction, Sara Ryan’s Laughing Boy is a bittersweet docu-play about brutal neglect and apathy. While it’s a damning inquiry into the shortcomings of public health, is it a good play or is it a great production of a rather mediocre one? In our opinion, it's the second.

Review: FROZEN, Greenwich Theatre
by Niamh Jones - April 30, 2024

Review: PIPPIN - 50TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Louise Penn - April 30, 2024
