Review: BBC PROMS: ST. VINCENT, Royal Albert Hall
by Kat Mokrynski - September 05, 2025
Entering the Royal Albert Hall for St. Vincent’s performance at the BBC Proms feels like any other classical performance. The orchestra is in their usual place, warming up as audience members take their seats. However, this is anything but a normal showing at the Proms - quickly proven by the roar of approval from the crowd as St. Vincent (Annie Clark) takes to the stage with conductor Jules Buckley.

Review: THE GENESIS, Peacock Theatre
by Louise Penn - September 04, 2025
The Genesis has been astonishing audiences across the globe with its showcase of trust and spectacle. For just over an hour, the Copenhagen Collective take over the Peacock Theatre with 16 top-class acrobats, assembled from across the world. The Genesis is a show of equal opportunities and diversity, with female bases lifting, and male flyers move with grace. Sensational, profound, and very human.

Review: THE POPESS, The Glitch
by Clementine Scott - September 04, 2025
‘What do you look for in faith?’ This is the question proclaimed by Italian performer Elena Mazzon in The Popess, before she launches upon unsuspecting audience members in search of individual responses. In a city where nearly a third of the population identify as atheist or agnostic, the reaction is as about as stone-faced as you would expect.

Review: THE PITCHFORK DISNEY, King's Head Theatre

This timely revival of Philip Ridley's first play, The Pitchfork Disney, brought back to the London stage by Lidless Theatre, Zoe Weldon and King's Head Theatre Productions, marks a major moment in the partnership between Lidless and Ridley.

Review Roundup: What Did The Critics Think of BORN WITH TEETH?
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 03, 2025
Winter 1591. It is a dangerous time for artists: the country is full of conspiracy and paranoia. In the backroom of a pub, writing sensations Kit Marlowe and Will Shakespeare are forced together in a creative union. Alone, with the table as their stage and battlefield, they sharpen their pens – and let their genius fly. Across three secret meetings, the rivals duel and flirt like their lives depend on it – and with spies everywhere, betrayal is so tempting.
