Review: PRIVATE VIEW, Soho Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - December 06, 2025

Review: CINDERELLA, Rose Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - December 05, 2025
The Rose Theatre's Cinderella is definitely not a pantomime, but nor is it a straightforward re-telling of the story. Updates to classic fairy tales are not new, but co-writers Chris Bush and Roni Neale give us a recognisable story with several twists along the way; where blended families and friendship are celebrated to create a fun and festive show for the whole family.

Interview: Co-Adapter and Director Abigail Pickard Price on DAVID COPPERFIELD At Jermyn St Theatre
by Guest Author - December 05, 2025
Dickens draws the most remarkable characters, there are few writers with whom we remember their characters above all else, but I think he is one of them. From Fagin to the Artful Dodger, Marley to Scrooge, Wilkins Micawber to Uriah Heep, he has created some of the most famous characters in literary history. What a privilege it has been to bring some of these characters to life on stage in David Copperfield.

Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: A HORNY LOVE STORY, Charing Cross Theatre
by Clementine Scott - December 05, 2025
In an age of transphobic fearmongering about any drag queen daring to perform in front of children, acknowledging the fact that British family entertainment has always been queer feels more important than ever. He’s Behind You takes this one step further, extending the concept of queer adult panto to its full, glorious potential.
