Review: RHYTHM OF HUMAN, Coronet Theatre
by Matthew Paluch - September 14, 2023
Ambiguous present the UK premiere of Rhythm of Human, choreographed by Kim at The Coronet Theatre. The work looks at the present day Korean man wrestling with societal expectations, and the Ambiguous blurb proposes “undefinable” content in order to communicate the narrative agenda through Kim's 'distinct musical interpretation.'

Review: PALATABLE GAY ROBOT, Phoenix Arts Club
by Kat Mokrynski - September 14, 2023
The description of Palatable Gay Robot states, “Stephen Brower begs the question, how gay is too gay?” Not something that you would expect from a show about a comedian robot, but, Brower is determined to answer this question through a show introducing us to Billie Bowtie, a palatable gay robot who is aiming to become a star.

Review: RED PITCH, Bush Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - September 14, 2023
Tyrell Williams’ tale of football, friendship, and societal shift has smashed records and garnered outstanding feedback across the board. More than a couple awards and the surprising surge in sports-themed plays we’ve had have put it back on the map for another limited run. Could this playwriting debut be eyeing a West End transfer at this point? It’s already a success, it might as well become a commercial hit too.

Review: THAT FACE, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 14, 2023
It is hard to believe that Polly Stenham was not even 20 when she wrote this This Face; a dark and unnerving examination of parent-child relationships where teenagers try to parent immature and utterly self-indulgent parents. After debuting at the Royal Court in 2007, the play went on to win three major awards and is now belatedly revived in an excoriating version, directed by Josh Seymour.
