Review: SOUND OF THE UNDERGROUND, Royal Court Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - January 27, 2023
Sound of the Underground, co-created by Travis Alabanza and Debbie Hannan, unleashes queer chaos on the historic Royal Court. Over the course of three acts, a cast of real London drag performers use every weapon in their arsenal to shed light on the realities of the city’s dying queer nightlife scene, the commercialisation of drag, the persistence of homophobia and transphobia, and the lack of money in the arts… but they have a lot of fun in doing so.

Review: TWO BILLION BEATS, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - January 27, 2023
Sonali Bhattacharyya's Two Billion Beats beautifully captures the intricacies of a siblings' relationship as the pair navigate exam pressure, racism and social injustice. When Bettina asks for her sister's help, Asha's desire for the truth to be heard has consequences for both of them.

Review: TITS & TEETH: A RETROSPECTIVE OF A DAZZLING CAREER, Shoreditch Town Hall
by Franco Milazzo - January 27, 2023
Quite why there aren’t more boundary-pushing, avant-garde, drag-slash-dance troupes around that appropriate film, TV and music to bring us satirically twisted versions of real-life and fictional historical figures, I really have no idea. So let’s treasure the ones that are around, eh?

Guest Blog: Playwright Tim Whitnall on the Challenges and Pleasure of Bringing NOTES FROM A SMALL ISLAND to the Stage
by Guest Blog: Tim Whitnall - January 26, 2023
In 2018, the producer Simon Friend asked me if I fancied adapting Bill Bryson’s best-selling travelogue “Notes From A Small Island” for the stage. Having jumped at the opportunity, I then remembered how the book recounts a road-trip stretching some eight hundred miles, encompassing almost fifty separate locations, flinging its narrator into the orbit of a myriad diverse characters.
