Interview: 'Memories Are Already Alive In Every Movement': Choreographer Amit Noy on Family, Trauma And Making His Sadler's Well Debut
by Matthew Paluch - September 17, 2025
It's fair to say general consensus is never work with your family, yet Amit Noy is doing the exact opposite in his piece A Big Big Room Full of Everybody's Hope. Marseille-based performer and dance maker Noy makes his Sadler’s Wells choreographic debut with the UK premiere of A Big Big Room Full of Everybody’s Hope in the Lilian Baylis Studio this October. For this production, Noy brings together three generations of his own family to explore the memory that is held between bodies and how we process trauma.

Review Roundup: Did THE PRODUCERS Go Right in the West End?
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 16, 2025
Adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan from Brooks’ 1968 film of the same name, with lyrics by Brooks and music by Brooks and Glen Kelly. As in the film, the story concerns two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. What did the critics think of the show's transfer to the West End, after sell-out run at the Menier Chocolate factory?

Review: THE PRODUCERS, Garrick Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 15, 2025
It took over twenty years for a revival of Mel Brooks's The Producers to come to London and the diminutive Menier Chocolate Factory more than held its own for a sold-out and universally well-received show. Now it makes a triumphant move to the West End's Garrick Theatre and continues to prove that great comedy is simply timeless.

by Matthew Paluch - September 15, 2025

Review: CREDITORS, Starring Charles Dance, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 15, 2025
Orange Tree artistic director Tom Littler first directed Howard Brenton’s adaptation of August Strindberg’s Creditors at Jermyn Street Theatre in 2019, in rep with Miss Julie. He has secured quite a coup in gathering such a star-studded cast of acting veterans with Geraldine James, Nicholas Farrell and Charles Dance in this wonderfully performed but underwhelming production.

Review: THE TRUTH ABOUT BLAYDS, Finborough Theatre
by Clementine Scott - September 15, 2025
Even though the Finborough has been transformed into a lush 1920s drawing room, with emerald green walls and an intricately stuccoed fireplace, cloyingly nostalgic period piece this is not. In fact, AA Milne’s rarely performed 1921 play The Truth About Blayds is refreshingly unsentimental about years gone by, preferring to totally deconstruct the idea that we ever had it better in the past. In Milne’s universe, revered Victorian heavyweights were not the ‘great men’ of history, but complex mortals, maybe even frauds.

Review: EVERY BRILLIANT THING, Starring Sue Perkins, @sohoplace

Every Brilliant Thing, now on in the West End, never be the same show, so it could be watched 10 times, 100 times, a million and still reach deep into the heart of you. It won't be for everyone. It may come across as over-sentimental or simplistic to some. I'm not one of those people.

Review: COW | DEER, Royal Court Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - September 14, 2025
Have you ever wished to have the same auditory experience as a deer? Or maybe a cow? Now you can. Katie Mitchell partners with playwright Nina Segal and sonic artist Melanie Wilson to explore the world from the eyes – or, more accurately, ears – of the titular animals. It’s a crude reproduction of a day in their lives that de-centres humans from its narrative altogether. Cow | Deer is entirely wordless, unique in its genre and unlike anything you’ll see on a main stage. The leaflets handed out before the start encourage the audience to close their eyes and relax while they listen to “moments of a summer day in England”. You could do that, but you’d be missing all the fun of seeing live foley artistry.
