Review: SUGAR COAT, Southwark Playhouse
by Katie Kirkpatrick - April 01, 2023
Sugar Coat is a piece of gig theatre, telling a story of growing up, trauma, and sex through pop punk music.

From the very beginning, this doesn’t feel like a traditional theatre experience: the audience are whooping and clapping along, and it’s clear that everyone both onstage and off is having a great time.

by Alexander Cohen - April 01, 2023
A jagged knife of a play that could cut deeper. Chronicling Russia's first annexation of Crimea, Pussycat in Memory of Darkness is wielded like a jagged blade goring its victim in a furious trance of savagery. Its prophetic vision of violence as relentless as it is terrifying to watch.
