Review: CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, Birmingham Hippodrome
by Laura Lott - March 05, 2025
The current UK tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has several well-known names attached to it - Ore Oduba, Liam Fox and Charlie Brooks all feature - but there's no denying that the star of the show is the car itself. Part polished wood, part shining steel and fully extraordinary, Chitty enchants audience members from the moment she appears, and when her wings unfurl and she soars and dips her way through a starlit sky, it's a true piece of theatrical magic.

Review: MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - March 03, 2025
From the day she was born, Temi Wilkey has been destined to perform. This is made clear from her grand entrance into Soho Theatre Upstairs, dressed in a gorgeous and frilly red dressing gown that she slowly removes to reveal her bright pink outfit underneath as the audience cheers. Main Character Energy is “an autobiographical one woman show,” but it is also a “flamboyant parody” of the theatrical category at the same time. Being both writer and performer, Temi Wilkey truly becomes the main character of the night.

Review: SON OF A BITCH, Southwark Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - March 01, 2025
Marnie never chose to be a mum. She loves her 4-year-old and would die for him, but he’s not what she expected him to be. When she’s filmed calling him a see-you-next-Tuesday on a plane back from Dubai, the video immediately goes viral. With her lowest moment immortalised for everybody in the world to see and judge, Marnie explores the ambivalence of motherhood. Written and performed by Anna Morris, Son of a Bitch exposes the casualties of virality, unpicking societal expectations to ask an open question: why do we have children?
