All’s Well That Ends Well

Don’t go expecting searing insights, but do go for a crack ensemble who will surely turn many to Shakespeare. An endearing and uplifting enterprise.


Banging Denmark

This production’s 100 minutes are so absorbing you’re not quite sure if the time’s stopped, or just your preconceptions. Stunning, a must see.


London Zoo

A masterly play in the making. It goes where very few dare, and in an environment we think we know. Very highly recommended.


Rock, Paper, Scissors

A joyous revival. Though working in TV production, Hayden’s writing is too good, too well-shaped not to develop in theatre instead.


Shakespeare in Love

The mystery’s in the ensemble, the production, its bewitching leads. It’s a mighty reckoning in a little room.


Testmatch

A superbly witty interrogation of identity, abuses many histories deep, asking questions it sets up in not too sober a fashion. Testmatch is a lightning-conductor.


The Beckett Trilogy

It’s reading Beckett in flashes of lightning and laughter. Conor Lovett stuns in this cut-down stand-up Beckett-novels-for-beginners-and-enders three-hour whistlestop. A tour de force as well as a tour de farce of Beckett’s genius.


The Bounds

As it stands, this is a play with greatness seeded in it.


The Cat and the Canary

An exceptional ensemble delivering a delirious twist on a tale that truly deserves it. Unmissable.


The Cherry Orchard

In this production, it’s Chekhov who shines.


The Comeuppance

Might prove the most lasting American drama about. emerging to a different world.
