FringeReview UK 2025

A Good House

A play deeper than the satire which propels it. And subtly layered enough to brush the epic. A stunning smack between the eyes and a must-see.


All the Happy Things

It’s impossible to believe Sienna doesn’t believe Emily’s not part of this at some level, and by the end, you’ll think so too.


Dear England

With its nimbus of inevitability as national storytelling, it’s still groundbreaking.


Double Act

Death & Co. The Laurel and Hardy of Suicide, the Little and Large of it Do see this timely, painfully funny, and absorbing new play.


Heisenberg

If flawed it’s a fascinating, intimate piece given new life and with luck a new performing tradition. The most compelling two-hander now playing.


Jane Upton (the) Woman

A ground-breaking play, fully deserving of its London run. Catch it there.


Khawla Ibraheem A Knock on the Roof

What and who can you choose is something more people are forced to decide as the century rolls. But Mariam’s plight is specific, ongoing, now far worse and essential viewing.


Macbeth

ETT’s gallimaufry stimulates, frustrates, occasionally fascinates. A more selective through-line would have revealed a mineral gleam, a new earth of tyranny.


Samuel Rees and Gabriele Uboldi Lessons on Revolution

It’s intersectional, it’s personal, it’s interactive: all great reasons to see this play: unless you’re a board member of BP, or the government.


Son of a Bitch

Anna Morris heightens tragedy and misogyny with gags, humour and farcical horror. Do catch this fleeting gem, running for just two more weeks before it touches down


Tarantula

This stunning performance from Henley ought to garner awards.


Teatro dei Gordi: Pandora

It begs questions: what couldn’t we do, if placed outside our own comfort station in life? Essential theatre. essential questions. A gem.


Tending

Essential theatre, essential witness and mandatory for anyone who wants to know how human we have to be, from beginning to end.


The Double Act

A masterly comedy, and should be packed out


The Gift

How far you’d go to pursue either vengeance or to resolve one, asks just such questions of how we choose to box up our lives. The Gift is for all of us.


Timberlake Wertenbaker Little Brother

bsorbs and remains indelible. Stella Powell-Jones is helming a quietly radical shift in Jermyn Street. And she’s taking the audience with her.


WILKO: Love and Death and Rock ‘n’ Roll

This could potentially be outstanding.
