Brighton Year-Round 2025

Death Comes to Pemberley

Stylishness in the fixtures, truth in the lower orders, some superb acting by the likes of Berger, Boyce, and Faulkner, as well as two couples with chemistry.


Duty

A fresh and urgent play, Duty should tour as a salutary reminder of how war impacts community, divides war-influenced majority from the few who see through war.


Flutter-Bye

Since this play and Allison Ferns have a lot of legs, it’ll be worth coming back to see it run.


Inter Alia

After 15 years away from the stage, Pike returns in a blaze of morals versus the law. Her triumph though is unequivocal.


Keep Your Sunny Side Up

In nearly every way exceptional. Hampshire is consummate and sets off Rouselle as worthy to inhabit Fields.


Lula Mebrahtu I Am – OommoO

Everything you’ve heard is true. Lula Mebrahtu is memserising, and I Am – OommoO like its creator has vast potential.


Medium

Daring work; and Isaac Freeman will dare again.


Mummified

We need this witness and the creative act of its impact statement. Unmissable


Peter James Picture You Dead

Twists are delicious. If you enjoy Peter James, or thrillers with a light touch, don’t hesitate. Solidly recommended.


Sea Wall/W. M. D.

Both productions are extraordinary.


Sheridan The Rivals

This company re-thinks Sheridan in his spirit: clear and steady as lead-crystal struck through with sun. The inventiveness of filleting the text to guy the fact of a five-strong cast is part of their distinction. It’s a must-see.


The Last Laugh

This is a must-see. Never outstaying its welcome, you can leave this show after 85 minutes, but stay for that Q&A. I envy everyone the night I won’t be there for it.


The Talented Mr. Ripley

A must-see. Minor caveats aside it’s as absorbing as some productions recently have plodded. This isn’t just any Ripley….


The Wild Washerwomen, Brighton Open Air Theatre

Ella Turk-Thompson has scored something special here.


UnTethered

UnTethered could be outstanding and groundbreaking. What Tara Sirois does next could, and should, unnerve everyone; including herself.


Who Do They Think They Are?

A finely-written show, with tensions wrought individually to a satisfying whole.
