Even more than 2019, a carnival riot of joy – with enough misdirection to evoke moonshine

Yomi Sode’s hybrid theatre is a compelling immersion of witness and poetry: we need more of it.

Three very fine and one outstanding work, Scratches – the best kind of play on depression, self-harm, black holes. Because it’s screamingly funny and deeply connected to why we do theatre.

Jumbo’s Hamlet strips out accretions and ghosts you into asking who or what Hamlet is. See it if you possibly can.

Immerse yourself in Blanche McIntyre’s quizzical production. You’ll come nearer to this play.

A fleet, brilliantly upending, wholly relevant take on the Verona-ready toxicity feeding male violence and young depression
