Review: CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, Southwark Playhouse


by Cindy Marcolina - March 14, 2026

The tail end of the 90s is shaking the walls of Southwark Playhouse’s studio space.

Review: IRON FANTASY, Soho Theatre


by Clementine Scott - March 12, 2026

In the much-cited 2014 book The Body Keeps the Score, the Dutch psychotherapist Bessel van der Kolk wrote of how the human body can be undone and rewired by traumatic experiences. In Iron Fantasy, comedy duo She-Goat have absorbed this idea into their musical comedy, and explored if and how one can ...

Review: THEATRE FOR ONE, Barbican


by Cindy Marcolina - March 11, 2026

Review: THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO, Richmond Theatre


by Aliya Al-Hassan - March 11, 2026

Christy Lefteri’s 2019 bestseller The Beekeeper of Aleppo is both a powerful and poetic story about the refugee experience. Her story of Nuri and his wife Afra's escape from Syria to England was inspired by time Lefteri spent working in a refugee camp in Athens. Syria may currently be seen as le...

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.
