Review: Present Laughter

Expertly-tailored, classy and for the most part surely-pitched fare: Stephen Unwin is sure-footed too and coaxes the best from his ensemble: jewel-like precision, light-footed blocking and quotable gestures makes this a production ravishingly conscious of its superiority.


Review: Unreachable

A profoundly quizzical play about directorial and film-mogul silliness, using one liners and silliness to address these questions.

Review: The Bald Prima Donna
