1.17am, or until the words run out

A cracking debut that picks you up and never lets go. Like any play that gifts us believable characters, it leaves you wondering what life, not just Hunter Gordon, will do with them. Highly recommended.

After Miss Julie

Provocative, absorbing take on Strindberg’s 1888 masterpiece. Fine cast led by Liz Francis make much of demob denouements.

Being Mr Wickham

In the afterglow of Austen’s 250, it’s an outstanding must-see.

Guess How Much I Love You?

Rosie Sheehy and Robert Aramayo are phenomenal and wholly believable. Norris’s next play will be worth seeking out, after such an outstanding debut.

Mrs President

Mrs President will continue to haunt and I suspect, develop. Be haunted though.

The Gambler

Chiten Theatre intensifies to a point of light here something barbarous, atavistic, and goes to the heart of nihilism. Still outstanding.

The Olive Boy

An extremely fine, and important one-person play, brimming with comedic gambits to open the floodgates.

The Shitheads

Aa a blazing new voice though The Shitheads packs a flinty punch; and paradoxically heralds a vivid poetic talent. A must-see.

The Story of Peer Gynt

The Norwegian Ibsen company - and here Kåre Conradi - are doing for Ibsen what Conor Lovett and Gare St Lazare are doing for Beckett. And both are to be found at the Coronet.
