Review: ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST, Theatre Royal Haymarket
by Cindy Marcolina - June 27, 2023
The play is unforgiving. It tears apart the Met Police, their brutal questioning techniques, gross negligence, finger-pointing, and the inherent duplicity of governmental affairs. It’s a refreshingly political addition to the West End.

Review: SAVING FACE by Si Rawlinson, The Place
by Matthew Paluch - June 26, 2023
Interdisciplinary is a bittersweet word/theory, and when I come across it, I'm equally filled with both anticipation and foreboding. The former as when it works it's hard to beat, the latter as when it doesn't, the night can be an awkward one. And in this spirit, I'm afraid Saving Face by Si Rawlinson is an adventurous, multifaceted piece that hasn't quite found its feet.

Review: EVEREST, Barbican Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - June 26, 2023
An atmospheric story of a group of trapped explorers at the mercy of mother nature, the UK premiere of Joby Talbot’s Everest has a chillingly eerie resonance.

Review: ROBIN HOOD: THE LEGEND. RE-WRITTEN, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - June 25, 2023
It’s the obvious legend to draw upon in our current age of police brutality, austerity, and the withdrawal of the right to protest - and when you have a stage surrounded by an almost-forest, it should be the perfect fit. This summer at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, Carl Grose turns his attention to the retelling of Robin Hood, promising a hero unlike those you’ll have previously seen on the small and silver screen.

This is just one of the ways that inclusion has been developed into this production as scenes with Charlie’s mother, performed here by Leonie Spilsbury, see the actors very effortlessly include BSL as part of their character communication with each other.

Review: MRS. DOUBTFIRE, Shaftesbury Theatre
by Caroline Cronin - June 23, 2023
Creating a stage musical of Mrs. Doubtfire, a much beloved 90’s film with an even more beloved Robin Williams at its helm, could in theory be disastrous. Happily, my inner child is thrilled to report that Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson’s adaptation is not only a sensitive homage to the original, but delivers compelling performances and a modern twist that combine to create a nostalgic, relatable…and hilarious piece of theatre.
