Review: REMEMBRANCE MONDAY, Seven Dials Playhouse
by Niamh Jones - April 29, 2024
Many of us ask ourselves about the definition of love, what is the purest form perhaps, or what does it mean to make promises while in love. Michael Batten’s play Remembrance Monday asks these questions through the lens of a seventy minute psychological thriller.

Review: OLIVE JAR, Grand Junction

What is theatre fundamentally about? Why do we create any form of literature or performance? Why do we tell stories? Stories are such a formative part of life, forging our knowledge of the world and helping to bring communities together.

Review: DOCTOR BROWN: BETURNS, Soho Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - April 26, 2024

Guest Blog: 'This is a Timeless Story': Performer Ofra Daniel on the London Premiere of Her Show, A SONG OF SONGS
by Guest Author - April 26, 2024
A Song of Songs is not your typical musical theatre - but definitely a play with lots of music. The production is nestled in a traditional Middle Eastern beat, infused with the flamenco of Andalusia and klezmer – a real fusion of world music. My vision is now coming to life with the help of a brilliant cast in its London premiere.

Review: A SPECTACLE OF HERSELF, Battersea Arts Centre
by Franco Milazzo - April 26, 2024
In her PhD on “Deconstructing the Spectacle: Aerial Performance as Critical Practice”, Dr Laura Murphy had a singular mission: “to challenge normative ideas attached to and embedded in aerial work”. In A Spectacle Of Herself, she delivers on this challenge with style and conviction.

Review: SHELF: TEENAGE MEN, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - April 26, 2024
Walking into Shelf: Teenage Men, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Based on the show’s description, there would be “anecdotes, songs, jokes about performing for kids, the Instagram algorithm, confronting your toxicity, and more.” How was all of this going to fit into an hour-long show? Luckily, I had nothing to worry about.

Review: WHAT (IS) A WOMAN?, Arcola Theatre
by Niamh Jones - April 26, 2024

Review: TESTMATCH, Orange Tree Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - April 25, 2024
“This way, you win, no matter what.” The Women’s Cricket World Cup Final in the present day, and eighteenth century Calcutta – on the face of it there’s the barest of connections, but when you drill down a bit deeper you can see how the relationship between England and India was first forged. Or, perhaps more accurately, forced.

Review: THE SLEEPING BEAUTY, Sadler's Wells
