Banging Denmark

This production’s 100 minutes are so absorbing you’re not quite sure if the time’s stopped, or just your preconceptions. Stunning, a must see.

Cowbois

Cranford’s gone Wild West, via the Court and RSC. Cowbois is of course daft. But it’s magnificent in its silliness, contains wonderful – and truthful – moments. Deadly serious can have you rolling in the aisles and still jump up for the revolution.

Dugsi Dayz

Thrillingly promising, and ground-breaking work.

---

Fire Embers Ash

The Night Witches ride !

---

Lie Low

An outstanding production.

---

London Zoo

A masterly play in the making. It goes where very few dare, and in an environment we think we know. Very highly recommended.

---

Northanger Abbey

We should fall in love right here. A joyous must-see.

---

Richard III

In a female-led cast led by the eponymous Richard III (Michelle Terry) it’s striking that the trio of cursing women is this production’s highlight

---

Sanctuary

Christine Rose as dramatist is a name we’ll be hearing, with luck, very soon.

---

The Bleeding Tree

A blood-dark gem.

---

The Good John Proctor

A valuable corrective to anticipate both real events and Arthur Miller’s take on Abigail Williams

---

The House Party

A thrilling must-see.

---

The Human Body

The work’s best at its quietest, where intimacy doesn’t need shouting. It’s still an intriguing development, as Kirkwood, as in her magnificent The Welkin, interrogates the condescensions of history.

---

The Years

This production reminds us it’s often the least theatrical, least tractable works that break boundaries, glow with an authority that changes the order of things.
