EDINBURGH 2025: WENCHES! Q&A
by Natalie O'Donoghue - July 28, 2025

Wenches! blends historical absurdity with modern relevance, revealing how easy it is to mistake performance for purpose.

Review: BRIXTON CALLING, Southwark Playhouse Borough
by Kat Mokrynski - July 28, 2025
When a business venture begins with “a single British pound pushed across the desk” and leads to iconic musicians like Bruce Springsteen performing at the venue, one knows they’re in for a good story. Brixton Calling is a play, written by Alex Urwin and directed by Bronagh Lagan, that tells the story of how Simon Parkes (Max Runham) fell in love with the decrepit Astoria Variety Cinema and made it his goal to transform it into a music venue where everyone could feel free to let loose and be themselves - not a seat in sight.

Review: BBC PROMS: MENDELSSOHN'S VIOLIN CONCERTO, Royal Albert Hall
by Franco Milazzo - July 25, 2025
From the moment the first note rang out, this was no ordinary Proms night. Four wildly different pieces, one restless thread: mischief. Mendelssohn is the marquee name here but really this was a foray into the world of fairytale birds, lyrical longing, mythological monkeys and death-defying pranksters.

Review: 101 DALMATIANS: THE MUSICAL, Eventim Apollo
by Clementine Scott - July 25, 2025
101 Dalmatians is a solid retelling of a classic that feels life-affirming without being too sentimental. It’s a reliable choice for a family evening, that is, if you can get over those freakish dog puppets.

EDINBURGH 2025: Old God Q&A
by Natalie O'Donoghue - July 25, 2025
Old God is a foppish, irreverent oracle. A singer of doom. A weaver of myth. A being so old they have forgotten their own name. With beautiful costuming, painted canvas backdrop and fancy golden foot lights, this white face clown seems to have walked out of the theater houses of the 1800s. Pantomime is performed along side improvisational feats of language. No one can keep up as Old God buries the audience beneath a sea of imagery and play spinning wildly in topic but elegantly in body.

Review: BBC PROMS: BOULEZ AND BERIO – 20TH-CENTURY GIANTS, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - July 24, 2025
Pierre Boulez and Luciano Berio were both born one hundred years ago in Montbrison and Oneglia, respectively. During the course of their lengthy careers, they worked separately and together, innovating in their own ways as the 20th century brought new technology to music. For this Late Night Prom, Ensemble intercontemporain (under conductor Pierre Bleuse) brought together three pieces to engage the two composers in posthumous conversation in the lofty surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall.
