Review: GOOD-BYE, The Coronet Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - March 06, 2024
It’s a piece of existential gig-theatre moulded with a cynical celebration of one of Japan’s most renowned authors and what he stood for. Presented in Japanese with surtitles, the experience is unlike anything that’s being staged at the moment and probably isn’t ideal for the average commercial theatregoer.

Review: THE LONELY LONDONERS, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - March 06, 2024
“The city has eyes and it watches your every move.” There’s no time for welcomes for newly arrived Trinidadian immigrant Galahad. Only warnings from street-smart fellow immigrant Moses. The latter has taken the former under his wing; together they will traverse the twisting streets and interminable bustle of 1950s London.

Review: SCARLET SUNDAY, Omnibus Theatre
by Niamh Jones - March 05, 2024
Art mimics life, or so we are always led to believe. In the case of James Alston’s Scarlet Sunday, the life behind the art is perhaps both difficult to see and blindingly obvious. Alston’s play, which is currently being performed at the Omnibus Theatre, provides an insight into the life of renowned artist Ray Blackwood following his death.
