Review: JIMMY, Park Theatre
by Clementine Scott - June 26, 2025
For anyone who loves or even likes the game of tennis, Jimmy is a worthy paean to how harrowing the sport can be at its best. The character it carves out from Connors’ story may need some more depth and refinement, but it’ll certainly be playing at the back of my mind as we head into Wimbledon.

Review: QUADROPHENIA: A MOD BALLET, Sadler's Wells
by Louise Penn - June 26, 2025
This is a production that falls into the above average category but not yet a 'great' achievement. It tries to do a little too much and falls short in some of the storytelling, despite having a real sense of heart and commitment. A lot of imagination, love and money has gone into this, with great video work and powerful dancing, but the orchestrations didn't work for me.

Review: A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN, Almeida
by Alexander Cohen - June 26, 2025
We are in an American provincial backwater. Characters bursting with steamy yearning squashed into the intimacy of the Almedia so close you’d think you can smell the bourbon on their hot breath. A pinch of expressionist flare as garnish and you have the Rebecca Frecknall formula: Summer and Smoke, Streetcar, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. This time the director takes on a lesser-known Eugene O’Neill. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it?

Review: THIS BITTER EARTH, Soho Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - June 25, 2025
This Bitter Earth, the UK directorial debut of Tony winner Billy Porter, is a play with a lot to say – about race, about activism, and about love. First produced in 2017, the show follows the twists and turns in the relationship between Jesse (Omari Douglas), a Black writer, and his boyfriend Neil (Alexander Lincoln), a white BLM activist.

Review: SCOUTS! THE MUSICAL, Upstairs At The Gatehouse
by Kat Mokrynski - June 24, 2025
Growing up in the States, the Girl Scouts were a major part of my childhood. I spent the summers going on biking trips and exploring the wilderness at Camp Tweedale, a summer camp out in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. As soon as I heard about Scouts! The Musical, written by Sam Cochrane (Book and Lyrics) and David Fallon (Music and Lyrics), I knew I wanted to see it and learn more about what it’s like to be a Scout across the pond.

Review: KIERAN HODGSON: VOICE OF AMERICA, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - June 24, 2025
Kieran Hodgson: Voice of America explores Hodgson’s own fascination with America, which began when he was little and reading from a small book of speeches by President John F. Kennedy that his father kept in his office. Ever since then, his passion for America has not diminished, with Hodgson entering the Soho Theatre Downstairs in the style of an American politician, plasting Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.,” running up on stage from the back of the room as red, white and blue lights flash.
