Review: SHANGHAI DOLLS, Kiln Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - April 11, 2025
Looking at the rise and fall of two powerful Chinese women through the vague lens of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House probably sounded good on paper. It’s a shame then that Shanghai Dolls fails to deliver on almost every front.

Review: A BRIEF CASE OF CRAZY, Riverside Studios
by Cheryl Markosky - April 11, 2025
Just three people and a briefcase. No fancy-pants CGI, no video wizardry, no Marvel-like special effects. Just three people and a briefcase is all it takes for Skedaddle Theatre (definitely a company to watch), in association with Shoddy Theatre, to transport you on a riotous and gratifying journey. I know people always say they're taking you on journeys these days, but this particular journey's well worth jumping aboard.

Review: SPEED, Bush Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - April 11, 2025
