Brighton Fringe 2026
It could be good, it could be bad. It could be great. But either way, it will be a lot of fun.
Blatt/Darwin/Holford Baroque Violins/Piano Recital St Nicholas Church
You forget the performers here for the most part, the best compliment I can pay them. A gem.
An earnest exploration of activism and conviction, elevated by moments of genuine historical resonance.
See it for the Chekhov, and come away forgetting for the most part these are students. They’re already Chekhovian.
First-rate Fringe music-theatre. Artistic content, particularly songs and verse, as well as direction and acting ensures this will clearly travel. Do see it.

Polly Teale has released the daemons, but Nettie Sheridan’s ensemble has delivered Jane Eyre’s feeling to a pitch remarkable even for BLT.
If Jenny Zed’s mind was Mary Poppins’ handbag, reaching inside wouldn’t pull out your average table, but an onslaught of laughter with maybe a guest appearance from a leg of lamb.
Brave, bold and really worth seeing above much else: even in a busy Festival.

Above all thanks to Norman Jacobs for bringing world class new music to Brighton for so long. And not just in this series.
Daughter of Feminism, Mother of Sci-Fi, the original Goth girlfriend: Mary Shelley is spooky AF.
Sherlock Holmes vs Arsène Lupin: A Drag Crime Caper
A legendary detective meets a master criminal . . .
That’s just the way it’s (un)done
A shattering piece, often grotesque and intentionally so, it is also sensual, thoroughly entertaining and infused with a sense of fun
The Dance of Time: A New Black Comedy
Here’s hoping it returns, clearly a play with a future as long as Tom’s is apparently short.
Two original twists, a fine, fresh writer/performer/director and something I certainly look forward to seeing developed.
A visually rich communal happening caught between ritual theatre and contemporary self-help philosophy
Unforgettable: An Alzheimer’s Cabaret!
Unforgettable - a take on Alzheimer's that you don't want to miss.
Standing ovations for this new behemoth of a piece, performed with complete control by the beautiful and intense Felix Le Freak.
