Review: Oliver!

There’s not a moment in this two-hours-40 where you’re not at the edge of your seat. The best musical revival this year. Don’t wait till it transfers to the West End.


Review: Play On Shakespeare Globe Wanamaker

An invigorating not to say complicit evening by the end. Whilst I have questions about the limits of the texts used, and the understanding of how the texts developed and still – with some academics – the deeper questions of syntax which some adaptors clearly work with – this is exciting.


Review: Room

As a condensation and enactment of Woolf’s seminal text this can’t be improved on. The outstanding one-person show I’ve seen this Fringe.


Review: How It Is Part 2

Immersive, outstanding, unrepeatable and unimaginable anywhere else


Review: Troy Story

Again the most educative stand-up and a thrilling presentation. Oh and bloody funny on war, male sexuality and the Bechdel Test.


Review: Frankenstein

Imaginative, Exquisitely Haunting and Moving - Visual Storytelling at its best!


Review: Your Alice

A trip down the Rabbit Hole like you've never seen.


Review: The Terrors of the Night

Nashe’s 1594 The Terrors of the Night directed by Jason Morell is a stunning one-off. This imaginative enterprise should be developed perhaps with at least one more actor, and certainly enjoy a niche run. It’s a triumph (both early modern and modern senses!) viscerally realized here with music and floating candles. Let it again feast our horrors, curiosity and uneasy laughter.


Review: Wife

A one woman show following wives through history, art and legend


Review: Brideshead Revisited

Bryony Lavery’s adaptation of Brideshead, the first for the stage dazzles with stagecraft and storyline but something’s lost tail-chasing the detail.


Review: Loud Poets

Bold, loud, passionate and engaging – poetry for the masses with a wonderful energy
