1536

A stunning must-see debut.


Athena Stevens Diagnosis

Over 50 minutes, a compelling, unique and disturbing vision unravels: prophesying prophesy is invisible. That’s why as many as possible should see it.


Bacchae

An absolute must-see.


Belly of the Beast

Belly of the Beast should be a set text in schools. And should definitely tour there.


Billy Barrett and Ellice Stevens After The Act Royal Court Downstairs

Most of all this musical is necessary. With four outstanding multi-roling performers, a message both affirmative and defiant; and with a fierce joy that makes it a must-see.


Birch Romans

The most absorbing play of the season so far.


Claire Dowie H to He (I’m Turning into a man) Finborough

A must-see for anyone who loves breakthrough: genre-defying, then genre-defining theatre.


Cow/Deer

Emphatically theatre worth doing, worth attending, worth fighting to clarify and worth being changed for.


Euripides Medea

This Medea deserves its fame. A must-see, though nearly sold-out.


Extraordinary Women

For a bijou summer in a bottle, this can’t be beaten. Exquisite, painfully funny, and hinting at the depths Mackenzie found to his own chagrin. A gem.


Harriet Madeley Outpatient

Highly recommended. Except to the anti-death league.


Jane Upton (the) Woman

A ground-breaking play, fully deserving of its London run. Catch it there.


Khawla Ibraheem A Knock on the Roof

What and who can you choose is something more people are forced to decide as the century rolls. But Mariam’s plight is specific, ongoing, now far worse and essential viewing.


Lynn Nottage Intimate Apparel

Everything built up, like a corset, is unloosed. What we thought we knew we don’t. Outstanding.


Men’s Business

A quietly phenomenal, ground-breaking play, blistering in sumps of silence. See it.


Natasha Cotriall (God Save My) Northern Soul

Time will deepen the shadows and writer/actor Natasha Cotriall shows this in the very last moment.


Natasha Cottriall (God Save My) Northern Soul

Time will deepen the shadows and writer/actor Natasha Cottriall shows this in the very last moment


Playhouse Creatures

When Doll Common claims “Life’s like a storm. Don’t get in its way” one thinks of the stoicism of those in the eye of it, and their audience. A consummate revival.


Sense & Sensibility

Austen fans can feel they’re delivered the story’s heft, if not all its socially pinched circumstance. It’s a small gem.


Son of a Bitch

Anna Morris heightens tragedy and misogyny with gags, humour and farcical horror. Do catch this fleeting gem, running for just two more weeks before it touches down


Tarantula

This stunning performance from Henley ought to garner awards.


The Soon Life

A small, brilliant gem of a play
