'Jessica Fostekew: Mettle is a show in which Fostekew talks about her life through observational comedy.

Review: THE FROGS, Kiln Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - February 12, 2024
Considering their recent losses, physical theatre giants Spymonkey would have been justified to adapt a Greek tragedy rather than a comedy. The death of Stephan Kreiss in 2021 and the departure of Petra Massey to Las Vegas now leaves only Toby Park and Aitor Bassauri remaining.

Review: HENRY MOSS: HENRY QUEEN OF SQUATS, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - February 09, 2024

Review: SELF-RAISING, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - February 09, 2024
'Self-Raising begins with a sack of flour. But it’s not just a sack of flour.

Just with a few more bags of flour.'

by Aliya Al-Hassan - February 09, 2024
Death comes to us all and the spectre of the end of life often brings families together who may not have met for years, even decades. Jez Butterworth’s bittersweet and bitingly funny new play, The Hills of California, draws both on this and how events are shaped by memory and by who remembers them.
