Review: POWER OF SAIL, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Mica Blackwell - April 02, 2024
Early in Power of Sail, we learn it’s firmly set in 2019. A mere year later, the world would face a global pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement and online misinformation reaching its peak as right-wing have been given bigger platforms to express their hate under the guise of freedom of speech.

Review: MARY O'CONNELL: MONEY PRINCESS, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - April 02, 2024
Mary O’Connell: Money Princess starts with a bang, as O’Connell emerges from behind the curtains, money guns in hand, spraying money over the audience as “Big Spender” plays. The fun only lasts for a few seconds, however, as the guns quickly run out of money and leave O’Connell standing on stage, pink guns in hand, music blaring.

Review: THE DIVINE MRS S, Hampstead Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - March 29, 2024
The Divine Mrs S is a load of… silliness. And not in a positive way. Directed by Anna Mackmin, it’s difficult to say what the play means. Its raison d’être could be anything from a bid to have more parts for older actors to an attempt at showing the beginnings of female liberation. Very little happens. At nearly two hours and a half, the show is excessively long and dull to the degree that it could b

Review: DON'T.MAKE.TEA, Soho Theatre

Review: ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET - CARMEN, Sadler's Wells
by Matthew Paluch - March 28, 2024
Inger's Carmen is successful in two key ways: firstly it tells the existing narrative of Carmen incredibly clearly, secondly it actually does so with “new resonance' - who'd have thunk it.

Review: PIERRE NOVELLIE: WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - March 28, 2024
Pierre Novellie: Why Are You Laughing? has an interesting question for a name, but the reason he is asking does not actually come into play until the end of the show. Novellie has a French first name, an Italian last name, is South African and moved to the Isle of Man, but, “there’s no time to explain that.”
