Guest Blog: 'PR is All About Storytelling': Chloé Nelkin of CNC on Communication, Female Empowerment and Celebrating 15 Years of Arts PR
by Guest Author - March 17, 2025
I started CNC in 2010, towards the tail end of my Masters degree at The Courtauld Institute of Art – where I’d also studied for my undergraduate degree in History of Art. I stumbled into PR, almost by chance, while working on the East Wing Collection exhibition. So much hard work was going into the exhibition that I decided I wanted more people to see this and so I started emailing journalists.

Review: PIERRE NOVELLIE: MUST WE?, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - March 14, 2025
Have you ever heard of a cargo cult? Pierre Novellie has, and he’s ready to tell the audience all about it. Pierre Novellie: Must We? is Novellie’s newest hour of comedy and takes a look at the fairness (or unfairness) and expectations of life, using his own as an example.

Review: ANGELA BARNES: ANGST, Leicester Square Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - March 14, 2025
As one might guess from the title, the show delves into the anxiety that Barnes has faced over the years and how it has affected her life in both serious and funny moments. She also discusses other aspects of her personality, including how her synesthesia allows her to see abstract concepts as colours.

Review Roundup: CLUELESS THE MUSICAL at the Trafalgar Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - March 14, 2025
Clueless is a new musical comedy based on the Paramount Pictures classic film. The modern spin on Jane Austen’s Emma gets another timeless makeover from the original film’s writer-director alongside a majorly acclaimed creative team.

Review: HAVISHAM, Jack Studio
by Tsitsi Tsopotsa - March 14, 2025
Havisham, written and performed by Heather Alexander with direction and dramaturgy by Dominque Gerrard, offers a compelling backstory to one of literature's most enigmatic characters. This one-woman show opens with a ghoulish, macabre set that perfectly establishes the tone for this exploration of Miss Havisham from Dickens's Great Expectations.

Review: THE MOSINEE PROJECT, New Diorama
by Cindy Marcolina - March 14, 2025
We live in a time where Trump has been accusing the Democratic Party of Communism since his first campaign. He even went as far as describing last year’s election as “a choice between communism and freedom.” But the United States have been on the fear-mongering route for much longer than Trump’s shenanigans began and the transfer of this Untapped Award-winning production is exceptionally timely. Writer and Director Nikhil Vyas introduces us to a real-life event that’s as baffling as this play is striking.

Review: CLUELESS THE MUSICAL, Trafalgar Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - March 14, 2025
It’s 30 years since Amy Heckerling’s American high school adaptation of Emma hit cinema screens, so how better to mark that than with a move to the stage? Fresh from try-outs in Bromley last year, the musical adaptation has just opened in the West End; Heckerling’s book is backed by music from KT Tunstall and lyrics by Glenn Slater - as opposed to the first attempt at adapting the film for Off Broadway, which had more of a jukebox musical feel.

Review: THE LITTLE PRINCE, London Coliseum
by Franco Milazzo - March 13, 2025
Turning one of the world’s most famous children’s works into a lively stage adventure populated with quirky characters and illustrated by marvellous sights sounds like a money-making machine. So how does this production get it so wrong?

Review: A LITTLE INQUEST INTO WHAT WE ARE ALL DOING HERE, Shoreditch Town Hall
by Josh Maughan - March 13, 2025
Both a quiet act of defiance against the current theatre landscape and a show of solidarity with those striving to create within it. It also stands as a testament to the talent behind it—Rachel Lemon’s direction, in particular, is exceptional.

Review: DEREK MITCHELL: DOUBLE DUTCH, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - March 13, 2025
Derek Mitchell: Double Dutch begins in quite a Dutch way, with Mitchell emerging from behind the curtains in clogs and a Dutch bonnet, greetig everyone with a strong Dutch accent before launching into his show which, surprisingly, isn’t all about being Dutch (even though it does have a pretty Dutch catchphrase, the quote of this review).
