Review: JULIA MASLI: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - February 07, 2024
Julia Masli: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha is an absurd yet strangely comforting hour of agony aunt-style comedy that will leave you slightly nervous about having a microphone attached to a prosthetic leg being placed in front of your face for you to confess your fears to the world.
Review: ENTRAÑAS, The Barbican Centre
by Franco Milazzo - February 07, 2024
Performed for the first time outside Spain, El Patio Teatro’s Entrañas asks two simple questions: what does it mean to be a human, and what does it mean to be human?

Review: METAMORPHOSIS, Lyric Hammersmith
by Alexander Cohen - February 07, 2024
Frantic Assembly’s new version, penned by Lemn Sissay, may be poetically vivid and visually mesmerising, but it is terminally plagued by dramatic inertia. Without that key ingredient, the production melts into the looming shadows. An expressionistic mess. But a beautiful one to watch unravel.

by Franco Milazzo - February 05, 2024
