Review: GRIT, GLITTER & GASLIGHT - THE SARAH MCGUINNESS STORY, Circle And Star Theatre


by Clementine Scott - March 10, 2026

Sarah McGuinness is best known for her work producing whimsical indie documentaries about the standup comedian Eddie Izzard; in her one-woman show, though, there are only passing references to this. To put a finger on what the show is about is no easy task, because it’s a confused jumble of autofi...

Review: TELL ME STRAIGHT and AGGY, Park Theatre


by Clementine Scott - March 10, 2026

Park Theatre’s latest double bill presents two recent works from an emerging writer, both centring average queer London lives, and the lengths we’ll go to to present the versions of ourselves we want the world to see. Both are somewhat overblown in their execution, but at their best they are ima...

Review: THE HOLY ROSENBERGS, Menier Chocolate Factory


by Franco Milazzo - March 09, 2026

At the Menier Chocolate Factory, the revival of Ryan Craig’s The Holy Rosenbergs arrives with the weight of history attached to it. When it first appeared at the National Theatre’s Cottesloe Theatre in 2011, it was a sharp entry into a conversation about Jewish identity, family loyalty and moder...

Review: IT WALKS AROUND THE HOUSE AT NIGHT, Southwark Playhouse


by Cindy Marcolina - March 10, 2026

In spite of being one of the most difficult genres to stage, horror theatre is having its moment. The Woman in Black might have closed at the Fortune three years ago (almost to the day!), but the success of Paranormal Activity at the Ambassadors is proof that audiences are hungry for some spooky dra...

Review: BLINK, King’s Head Theatre


by Clementine Scott - March 07, 2026

When it premiered at Soho Theatre in 2012, Blink was a whimsical oddity, an ode to two eccentric loners falling in love. In 2026, it takes on a darker tone, with the subtitle “a parasocial love story” foreshadowing things to come....

Review: THE WRONG THEY KNEW, Chickenshed Theatre

Review: MARIE & ROSETTA, @sohoplace


by Clementine Scott - March 06, 2026

Her name may not be widely known today, but Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s musical legacy is felt down the decades. George Brant’s play about her relationship with gospel singer Marie Knight is retelling not just a woman’s life, but the birth of an entire new genre....

Review: PLAYING SHAKESPEARE WITH DEUTSCHE BANK: ROMEO AND JULIET, Shakespeare's Globe


by Christiana Rose - March 07, 2026

A revival marking twenty years of a remarkable education initiative, Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare’s Globe demonstrates accessible theatre at its very best. Directed by Lucy Cuthbertson, this fast paced ninety minute production captures the essence of Shak...

Review: SCOTTISH BALLET - MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS, Sadler's Wells


by Louise Penn - March 06, 2026

Mary, Queen of Scots, is a remarkable piece of work, offering pointed comment on the place of women in the sixteenth-century court and on the mythology that casts Mary as a martyr. With striking visuals and compositions, it is an original and modern take on a familiar part of history....

Review: OUR TOWN, Starring Michael Sheen, Rose Theatre


by Aliya Al-Hassan - March 05, 2026

Thornton Wilder’s 1938 play, Our Town, marks the first production for Michael Sheen’s Welsh National Theatre. After selling out across Welsh venues, this understated gem of a play moves west to give audiences of the Rose Theatre a chance to see what this exciting new company can do....
