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

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
