Review: NORTHANGER ABBEY, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - January 25, 2024
It's no wonder that the Orange Tree Theatre is such a fan of Zoe Cooper. She received critical acclaim with both the beautifully touching Jess And Joe Forever in 2016 and the wonderfully perceptive Out Of Water in 2019 at the venue. There are many similaries here, with Cooper's deft handling of sexuality, friendship and social expectations, but this time taken from Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Is it another hit? Not quite.

Review: THE MOST PRECIOUS OF GOODS, Marylebone Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - January 25, 2024
The Holocaust is not an easy subject to tackle. Balancing storytelling without over-indulging in trauma whilst being respectful is a delicate affair. For every Schindler’s List there are swathes of plays, books, and films that drown themselves in schmaltz. The Most Precious of Goods can be added to that list.

Review: SIX, Vaudeville Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - January 24, 2024
Since Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss' little show about Henry VIII's six wives first debuted in 2018 at the Edinburgh Festival, it has done rather well. It quickly moved to the West End in January 2019, before opening at its current home – the Vaudeville Theatre – in November 2021, bitting 1000 performances in December 2023. Along the way, the show has also won over 35 international awards, including two 2022 Tony Awards.
