Review: Good
C. P. Taylor’s Good shows – supremely - how a liberal without developed conscience gets sucked in. It interrogates each of us, especially polite liberals who might say “I’m not political, I’m not interested in politics.” Politics is interested in us. And authoritarianism beats us into a dead-march. And unless we resist to a point of danger, we’ll fall in. A groundbreaking production of this timelessly urgent play.
Review: Django in Pain
Poignant, charming and meaningful play that is imaginative and vibrant in vision and message.
Review: Donald and Benoit
Whimsical, distracting and delightful – from cat’s pajamas to the dog’s claws, this is a real panacea to the absurdity of life.
Review: A Call to Care
A creatively choreographed homage to the essential work of an essential crew from an essentially creative part of our crafts
Review: Don’t Know Him From Adam
An interesting two hander well performed by a couple of experienced pros.
Review: Adam
An astonishing performance of a personal journey that whispers in anger leads you to positives humanity throughout.
Review: The Water Cooler
A unique take on the problems of today which does manage to bring new perspective to the issue we face regarding race and mental wellbeing.
Review: Walk of Shame
A slow burning expose of the shame we should feel at how we treat those who exercise the liberty we expect them to have
Review: The Bus Stop
A tale of complaint that is a terrific reminder of all of our responsibilities.
Review: Lament for Sheku Bayou
An astonishing story lamented and told in an extraordinary fashion that resonates and poetically demands change.
Review: A Kiss From Back Home
A solo performance that brings effectively to the stage the soulful disappointment of a lost relationship.
Review: A Manual of Fantastical Zoology
An entertaining musing on what lockdown may have done to us, as creatures.
Review: Strange Rocks
A wholly theatrical exploration of what finding a body on a shore might contemplatively lead you to consider.
Review: User Not Found
A fascinating online exploration of what might happen when someone dies and leaves someone else in charge of their digital footprint.
Review: San Francisco Fringe Festival 2020 Sneak Peek!
Catch a taste of what's to come at the 2021 San Francisco Fringe Festival!
Review: MILF
A series of exploratory monologues that really make you think about the value of gender
Review: Isolation
A desperate portrait of the strain of the absence from a mother of her child during the pandemic.
Review: Rebus: The Lockdown Blues
A complex and impressive study of one iconic literary figure dealing with an iconoclastic time in his kitchen.
Review: Growth
An intriguing few minutes of a short performance followed by the workshop that created it and which you can use to create your own growth spurt.
Review: I am falling in love with you and it’s making me do stupid things
A brilliant solo piece in lockdown showing a woman looking for love, who thinks she may have found it, but then are we thinking she is after THE man or hedging her bets?
Review: A Small Gathering
A triptych of solos, presented from people stuck in their houses who dare us to join in their creative deliciousness in an imaginative, terrifying and fantastic manner.
Review: Railed
A cotton printed, adult themed circus rodeo that is as wonderful as it is rude and engaging.
Review: Sunset Boulevard
A classic film in a theatrical homage which retains the sparkle of the original and adds exceptional performances onstage to add to the spectacle.
Review: The Phantom of the Opera
The Albert Hall’s sovereign production, unlikely to be surpassed particularly with the special encore.
Review: Treasure Island
First-rate theatre. In Joshua James’ Ben Gunn and above all Pasy Ferran’s Jim, we see stars rising quicker than Arthur Darvill’s superb Silver can point them out.
Review: Hamlet
In Michelle Terry’s quicksilver, quick-quipping Hamlet, much has been proved, from interpretive to gender fluidity in tragic action, that sets a privilege on being in at a beginning.
Review: Wonderland
Outstanding. Surely the definitive study of the dignity of physical labour, and breaking of its amity.
Review: Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
A salutary reminder of how a great musical talent and collaboration started
Review: I and You
Will leave you in a heap and wonder what else Lauren Gunderson has written that comes near this.
