Review: BOG WITCH, Soho Theatre Walthamstow
by Cindy Marcolina - October 15, 2025
Kimmings propels the plot with meta-theatrical orchestrated chaos. She toys with tone and pace, which results in an engaging rhythm of information and contemplation. It couldn’t be further from being preachy: Kimmings doesn’t judge. She refuses to employ her own anxious attachment to capitalism as a weapon of comparison or opinion, nor does she use her own experience as a cautionary tale. The fable lies in the covert complexity of the storytelling.

Review: GARY GULMAN: GRANDILOQUENT, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - October 14, 2025
Do you remember the book that made you fall in love with reading? Maybe it was a book you read in grade school that has stuck with you for your whole life, or even a book that a friend recommended. For Gay Gulman, that book is The Monster At The End of This Book, in which Grover from Sesame Street begs the reader to stop reading the book, as, one might guess, there is a monster at the end that Grover is afraid of. For Gulman, the opening line Grover has on the copyright page, “This is a very dull page,” rivals that of Dickens with “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” and Moby Dick’s “Call me Ishmael.”

Guest Blog: Performer and Writer Isabel Renner on Imagination, Freedom & Overcoming Shyness in Her Play WYLD WOMAN
by Guest Author - October 13, 2025

These may seem like divergent roads down the wood of a single personality, but I’ve found them to be inherently intertwined. It is shyness that made acting such a necessity to me.

Review: DANCE UMBRELLA - SUNDAY SHORTS, Barbican Cinema
by Matthew Paluch - October 13, 2025
Dance Umbrella - the contemporary dance festival - started in 1978 and continues its mission today. One can always expect the unexpected…however, Sunday Shorts - “a screening of short films that draw on global perspectives and have movement at their heart” was far from what I'd hoped it would be.
