Review: BEN VAN DER VELDE: FABLEMAKER, VAULT Festival
by Kat Mokrynski - February 22, 2023
When taking moments to pause from laughing at the quick and witty jokes, I found myself in awe of how easily Van der Velde was able to take what appeared to be random characters and put them together, creating a story about an underground fight ring that was being run by “The Last Remaining Briton,” Richard.

Review: ROMEO AND JULIE, National Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - February 22, 2023
Owens scratches the surface of Welsh underdevelopment and economic deprivation, going as far as giving Julie a perfunctory invective against posh kids, but refraining from digging deeper into the issues. It’s disheartening to see such a big platform being under-exploited to the benefit of a silly narrative. Having a diversity of accents across three stages doesn't automatically guarantee quality.

Review: AKEDAH, Hampstead Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - February 21, 2023
Akedah won the 2019 Bruntwood Prize Original New Voices Award, and is Michael John O’Neill’s first full length play. It’s a tricky show in every sense of the word: the themes are very heavy, with little levity, and the plot is often hard to keep track of, as new details about the characters’ past are gradually added. The result is a very bleak, emotionally fraught production that’s difficult to unpick.

Review: THE BEACH HOUSE, Park Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - February 21, 2023
In a landscape dominated by a dearth of lesbian stories, it’s refreshing to find one that doesn’t deal with sexuality at all, but focuses on the negotiations of parenthood and the complications of personal connections.
