Review: WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINA WOOLF?, Starring Gillian Anderson & Billy Crudup
Actors start your engines. Edward Albee’s masterpiece for four lives and dies on the horsepower of its performers. Albee does not batter you with ideological interrogation. Its sparks fly from watching it performs bash into each other, lashing each other with venomous cruelty in one breath, then l…

Review: EXTREMISM,The Cockpit Theatre
Anders Lustgarten’s play may have been written in 2017, but its core subject could be lifted off today’s newspapers. As right-wing propaganda gains more traction by the day, this is a revival of staggering relevance. Extremism sees a secondary school being rattled by the fallout of radicalisatio…

Review: JERKER, Waterloo East
An early tableau in Robert Chesley’s 1986 play Jerker involves a character masturbating to a generic message on his answering machine. It’s not the last masturbation scene in the play – which was once the subject of an obscenity-related censorship attempt on Californian radio – nor is it the…
Review: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW: A KINKY RETELLING, Bread And Roses Theatre
Perhaps the trickiest, most controversial work in Shakespeare’s arsenal, The Taming of the Shrew comes to the Lambeth Fringe in a peculiar rewrite. Zak Rosen and Paige Hann flip the script on coercive control and try to make the Bard kinkier: Petruchio becomes the submissive simp to Katherina’s …
Review: THE STANDARD OF LIVING, Starring Rory Kinnear
James Graham's latest play, The Standard of Living opens with a smartly dressed, well spoken man trying (and failing) to address an audience about his economic theory. It's a wry wink to the fact that the subject matter may not be everyone's specialist subject. But this is Graham, a master of makin…
Review: A SMALL AND QUIET LIGHT, Orange Tree Theatre
I suspect like most people, you have never come across the name of Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan before. A mixed-heritage British Indian and Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent in Nazi-occupied Paris who was the first woman to be parachuted into France to provide radio communication vital to the R…
