Review: THE STANDARD SHORT LONG DROP, The Vanguard, Camden
by Cindy Marcolina - September 28, 2023
Rachel Garnet’s new play is the chance to explore workers’ rights and mortality. It’s a tense black comedy, jam-packed with philosophical arguments and tied together by Natasha Rickman’s controlled vision.

Review: UNBELIEVABLE, Criterion Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 27, 2023
Derren Brown calls his new production, Unbelievable, 'the magic show I've always wanted to see'. It's not only a show without Brown himself, but crucially (with the exception of Simon Lipkin) it is a magic show not performed by professional magicians. In fact, many members of their cast are making their West End debuts.
