Brighton Fringe

After All These Years

A superb play, it should as one director present said, be in the West End. With these actors.

Bag Lady

This could develop into something special. Thoroughly recommended as an industrial-strength ice-breaker.

One of the most musically satisfying, funny, filthy and inclusive tribute acts of its kind.

A play about the Climate Crisis, family, photography and being screwed by insurance.

Chamberlain: Peace in Our Time

A light-filled small gem of a show, tuning into wireless crystals of a lost world.

Clean: The Musical

This should be in the West End

Minotaur

Love and The Labyrinth

Sarah Mann and her company will surely return with this gem of transubstantiation.

The Sensemaker

An astonishing, disturbing shapeshifting sliver of genius.

The Vertical Hour

The definitive Fringe revival of a mainstream play this year. Absorbing, baggy, intimate. See it.

Stunning. Greet the nothing that is not there, and the nothing that is.

Under Heaven’s Eyes

Dynamic, provocative, emotive and heartfelt performance and writing.
