Review: PARIS OPERA JUNIOR BALLET, Royal Ballet And Opera
by Matthew Paluch - June 21, 2025
Some matinées can feel endless…and I'm sorry to say that was the case with the Paris Opera Junior Ballet. Performing as part of the ongoing Next Generation Festival at the Royal Ballet and Opera's Linbury Theatre, the recently formed (2024) troupe brought a quad bill of mixed works - both in style and success.

Review: THE MERRY WIDOW, Opera Holland Park
by Franco Milazzo - June 20, 2025
On the face of it, three celebrated opera companies joining forces is, without doubt, A Good Thing. This adaptation of Franz Lehar’s The Merry Widow, on the other hand, decidedly Not A Great Thing.

Review: MEDEA, Coronet Theatre
by Clementine Scott - June 20, 2025
This Medea feels at one with its ancient origins, with Athens’ strict patriarchy and fractured psyches and desperate quests for glory, while also injecting a risk-taking dose of dread and brutality.

Review: FIGHT FOR AMERICA!, Stone Nest
by Franco Milazzo - June 19, 2025
On 6 January 2021, while the US Congress gathered in Washington DC to confirm Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States of America, a mob waited outside. Demanding that their leader Donald J Trump be returned to power, they stormed the Capitol building to confront the lawmakers.

Review: 4.48 PSYCHOSIS, Royal Court Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - June 19, 2025
Sarah Kane is part of the mythology of British theatre. A brilliant mind, unbridled in her explorations of existence. Severely depressed, she hanged herself in the toilets of King’s College Hospital on the 20th of February, 1999. Tragically, it wasn’t a surprise. She wrote and talked about suicide very matter-of-factly. Kane authored, in total, five plays and a short film, all of equal, tragic precision in their emotional quality. It’s astonishing how much beauty came from someone who suffered so intensely.

Written by the creators of the phenomenon that was the podcast My Dad Wrote A Porno, Jamie Morton and James Cooper, with music by Bryn Christopher and Martin Batchelar, Lovestuck is a relatable, cute musical guide for modern dating with only one flaw. Why did Lucy end up stuck upside down in a window after her date with Peter? The answer is more complicated than you might think.
