Review: THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO, Nottingham Playhouse
by Laura Lott - February 13, 2023
Directed by Miranda Cromwell and adapted by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler, The Beekeeper of Aleppo tells the story of Syrian refugees Nuri (Alfred Clay) and Afra (Roxy Faridany) as they flee their homeland. Lefteri based the original story on her experiences of meeting people in a refuge centre in Athens, and while Beekeeper is not a true tale, 'all stories are true in their own way', as Nuri reminds us.

Review: THE LEARNING LOTTERY, VAULT Festival
by Cindy Marcolina - February 12, 2023
Is Britain a functioning meritocracy? Many try to argue that it is, but research states otherwise. Upstart Theatre urge the audience to take matters into their own hands by playing The Learning Lottery, a “fast-paced, high-stakes game show” that determines the future of three children.

Review: RESIDUE, VAULT Festival
by Cindy Marcolina - February 12, 2023
The importance and beauty of some productions extend beyond what the audience see on stage. Residue was born after two years of creative workshops for victims of domestic and sexual abuse. It’s about the women who shared their experiences, but so much more too. Verity Richards and Izzy Kabban deliver a piece that’s as heart-wrenching in its origin as it is heartwarming in its spirit.

Review: THIS IS THE LAND, VAULT Festival
by Cindy Marcolina - February 12, 2023
The one created by Leeza Jessie, Xavier De Santos, Samuel De La Torre, Alice Barton, Sofia Velez, and composer John Baggott is an astonishingly strange show, which wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t so… well, meaninglessly weird.

Review: THE WHOREING TWENTIES at VAULT Festival
by Kat Mokrynski - February 11, 2023
As someone named Kat in her twenties and living in the 20s, I thought it would be interesting to review Kat and Kat Comedy’s The Whoreing Twenties. The show is an interesting mix of pre-recorded video and live comedy presented by two women, both named Kat, who “really want to give back to the community” by giving advice about sex in your twenties.

Review: BREATHLESS, Soho Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - February 10, 2023
It’s been a strong few months for Edinburgh Fringe transfers at Soho Theatre, and Fringe First winner Breathless is no exception. Written by Laura Horton based on her own experience, the show shines a light on the real life consequences of hoarding through a touching, warm-hearted one-woman show.

Review: THE SILVER BELL, VAULT Festival
by Cindy Marcolina - February 10, 2023
The singularity of souls, how coincidence and circumstances change the course of a life, the idiosyncratic relationship we create with specific people, they all come together with refined technique and deft use of language. It’s a gem of a play.

Review: MOLKA, VAULT Festival
by Cindy Marcolina - February 10, 2023
It’s a heavy topic, and the company bear the weight of it throughout. MOLKA is commendable for its avant-garde approach to the subject, which has the vice of a Tate Modern performance art piece more than a straight play. While it gets slightly lost in its stylistic choices and fails to provide a map for the audience to navigate its symbolism, it’s a diamond in the rough.

Review: ALL BY MYSELF, VAULT Festival
by Cindy Marcolina - February 10, 2023
It’s meant to be a satirical look at our obsession with our online personas versus the reality behind the screen, but - like everyone’s day-to-day life - it’s just a little too mundane. Bickel-Barlow succeeds in showing the fickleness, fakeness, and absolute inconsequence of social media, but has a lukewarm reaction. It’s an interesting experiment, but it unfortunately doesn’t really work.
