FringeReview UK 2026

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Blissful and side-splitting, which might be unique.


Aether

Exciting, boppy, mind-enlarging, sometimes thrilling


Black Comedy

A taut, first-rate revival, though with a unique virtuosity


Dear Liar

Stella Powell-Jones and her team make the strongest possible case. A must-see for all lovers of theatre, wit, and wincing put-downs.


Flush

Timely, timeless and as real as a selfie you might wish you’d never taken when you look again. 80 minutes blink by, but you won’t miss it. Stunning.


Game of Crones

Cher couldn't do it, but can A&E Comedy turn back time?


Glorious!

Wendi Peters sends you out singing: with all the right notes in the wrong order. Solidly recommended.


Godot’s To-Do List, Krapp’s Last Tape

A performance of lessness writ large: a man shrinking from his environment, the memories taking over and kicking Krapp’s mere organic matter out.


The BFG

Evans and his team have transported the magic so completely it’s taken up residence. Both outstanding and a delight


The Playboy of the Western World

An impossible balance, but having seen Playboy at farce-speed, it’s good to weigh in with a loquacious backbeat of despair. Wholly absorbing.


The Rivals

As polished a Sheridan gem as I’ve ever seen.


The Tempest

Orlando Gough’s music stamps this production, and makes the pulleys of reinvention sing despite themselves. For that and the sweep of decolonised languages, a must-see.
