ADHD? WTF is ADHD!

Emma Wilkinson-Wright is unnervingly close to the pulse of how real this is. A hidden gem.

Adrian Lukis Being Mr Wickham

There’s nothing more charming or endearing in the West End this summer.

Claire Dowie Adult Child/Dead Child Finborough

Claire Dowie’s never mellowed, and remains essential: taut, inordinate, alone, unreconciled. In other words, see it.

---

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.

---

Claire Dowie See Primark and Die Finborough

There’s more than a touch of Ken (even more, Daisy) Campbell about the way Dowie structures her circular storytelling. Here it’s at its most consummate, most artful and repays re-reading to catch Dowie at your throat.

Claire Dowie Why is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt?

If you see one Claire Dowie, this might be it.

Harriet Madeley Outpatient

Highly recommended. Except to the anti-death league.

---

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.

Natasha Cotriall (God Save My) Northern Soul

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

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 Importance of Being Oscar

Alastair Whatley takes the joy of the sorrow, and makes it his own. Unmissable if you can squeeze in.

---

The Poltergeist

Not as terrifying as Tarantula, but more relatable, it’s a must-see.
