Review: LIVE TO TELL: (A PROPOSAL FOR) THE MADONNA MUSICAL, Omnibus Theatre
by Mickey-Jo Boucher - February 14, 2023
An autobiographical piece, it acquaints its audience with Brian, an eccentric American writer living with HIV. Per the name of the play, he is also frantically putting together a pitch for a musical using Madonna's discography, a project he fears is being impeded by his current medication.

Review: WINNER'S CURSE, Park Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - February 14, 2023

Review: PRIDE & PREJUDICE* (*SORT OF), Richmond Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - February 14, 2023
Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) has the potential to be an unstructured mess, but has the joyous, slightly chaotic nature of an irreverent fringe production, with the wit and slick satire of a carefully crafted piece more than worthy of the West End.

Review: BOORISH TRUMPSON, VAULT Festival
by Kat Mokrynski - February 13, 2023
Boorish Trumpson is fun for the clowning aspects but fails to deliver on the political side. If this show was meant to give me the sense of frustration and confusion of the Boris and Trump era, it met its goal. I left Boorish Trumpson just as confused as I was by the time Trump and Boris themselves left office.

Iranian Artist Exhibits Hyper-Real Portraits Alongside Surreal, Social-Commentary Drawings
