Review: Ministry; Or, The Surgical Revelation
a medical examination unlike anything you’ve ever seen before
Review: Balfour Reparations
An interesting theatrical deconstruction of what might happen in 20 years’ time if we wake up to what we did in Palestine.
Review: Dead Man Talking
A neat premise in a comedy world where “the sad bit” has become well-worn. The vibe is having-fun-at-a-wake.
Review: Lorna Rose Treen: 24 Hour Diner People
Dave’s Funniest Joke of the Fringe Award Winner 2023 lives up to her reputation in this fast-paced and absurd character show.
Review: UnTethered
UnTethered could be outstanding and groundbreaking. What Tara Sirois does next could, and should, unnerve everyone; including herself.
Review: Amour Utopique
A solo clown circus show with the potential to grow into something more refined and impactful
Review: La Ultima Muñeca: A Theatrical Quinceañera
Profoundly beautiful immersive theatrical work about the end of girlhood
Review: Three Minutes Inside My Brain
Get ready to be shrunk down and taken on a whirlwind adventure inside Jennifer's brain
Review: Samuel Rees and Gabriele Uboldi Lessons on Revolution
It’s intersectional, it’s personal, it’s interactive: all great reasons to see this play: unless you’re a board member of BP, or the government.
Review: 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.
Review: Flutter-Bye
Since this play and Allison Ferns have a lot of legs, it’ll be worth coming back to see it run.
Review: Macbeth
ETT’s gallimaufry stimulates, frustrates, occasionally fascinates. A more selective through-line would have revealed a mineral gleam, a new earth of tyranny.
Review: 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.
Review: ECHO
Ultimately, the most telling line ”We are all immigrants across time” defines what remains an extraordinary experience
Review: All’s Well That Ends Well
Don’t go expecting searing insights, but do go for a crack ensemble who will surely turn many to Shakespeare. An endearing and uplifting enterprise.
Review: Mnemonic
Mnemonic is treasurable, eloquent, a rare passport. It remembers what hope, connectedness and peace smelt like. It’s worth remembering that.
Review: Silence in Court
A fascinating social experiment where the audience literally judges the quality of performances right before our eyes.
Review: Influence
A superb debut show, Influence enjoys quite a long run and suggests that Stockroom’s an exciting fresh venture. And that embedded with Collective Theatre’s acting studios and writing rooms provided, this company and theatre synergy is more like a gleaming hub where magic in non-magic shows is poised to happen.
Review: AFTER ALL
Weinachter is an interchangeable chameleon: not just a dancer, but a rare performer who can do it all! Her style and execution of ideas paints a beautiful memory of her idiosyncratic talents in exploring the beginning and end of life. Stunningly poignant.
Review: Furious
Daly is the Pied Piper of Edinburgh – Enchanting, witty, interactive and relatable. A one woman show that pokes fun at satirical characters from her past!
Review: Amazing Two Curries (Red Curry and Panang) Masterclass
Meet Chef Ru at her Thai Food Workshop - Delicious!
Review: How to Survive and Thrive in an Impossible World – With a Piano!
Quirky and amusing lesson in getting wild and healed
Review: FOOD
Geoff Sobelle’s performance is outstanding, absurd, magical and mysterious visual physical storytelling.
Review: Play On Shakespeare Globe Wanamaker
An invigorating not to say complicit evening by the end. Whilst I have questions about the limits of the texts used, and the understanding of how the texts developed and still – with some academics – the deeper questions of syntax which some adaptors clearly work with – this is exciting.
Review: Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay!
A cost-of-living revolution in St James Street? You’d better believe it as Triada Theatre kick off the weekend with Dario Fo’s 1974 Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay! at the Lantern Theatre. Superb, energised theatre, rough occasionally, but mostly very-well performed, imaginatively staged, rapturously received. Now get out on the streets.
Review: Esther’s Revenge
Moving and incredibly powerful - A must see! Representation for Esther Ada Johnson, based on true life events.
Review: Lovefool
Though it might be red-topped as a Fleabag for the abused, it’s so much more excoriating. It’s also a work profoundly moving, necessary and – particularly for Gintare Parulyte - an act of courage. Lovefool’s on till May 26th; do rush to this 55-minute must-see.
Review: And Then They Came For Me
A multi-genre piece that can play anywhere, and needed now more than ever. Both to challenge denialists and most of all to illustrate the inhumanity of governments like ours towards refugees
Review: Sound of the Underground
It’ll remain one of the break-out, breakthrough, certainly ground-breaking shows this year.
Review: We Were Promised Honey!
An astonishingly well-crafted and compellingly well told piece of outstanding theatre.
Review: A Eulogy for Roman
An astonishing solo show of one man’s search for meaning within himself, with audience participation.
Review: Artificial Intelligence Improvisation
Professional improvisers beware. The robots are after your jobs.
Review: Ask a Stripper
An hour with a naked women, incisively and nakedly exploring the issue of stripping.
Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
This surely is the greatest Dream since Peter Brook’s landmark 1970 production.
Review: A Letter to a Friend in Gaza
Amos Gitai’s curating hope from the ruins, impelling the audience to construct a narrative.
Review: Looping
A divergent dance experience that is as eclectic and participative as it is enriching and impressive
Review: Van Gogh Find Yourself #vgfy
A remarkable performance piece that captures the essence of a creative human who has a tremendous effect on us all, particularly this actor in front of us.
Review: Timandra Harkness: Take a Risk
Timandra Harkness is an intelligent and interesting performer, calmly steering us through a show exploring the concept of risk taking, that didn't need to work hard to keep our attention.
Review: The female role model project
Original, thought-provoking, ambitious, funny, absorbing, interactive and no sign of the 4th wall

Enchanting experience for those with multiple challenges which uses the full range of sensory experiences to great effect.
Review: Weight/Wait
“An emotional rollercoaster that is gripping from start to finish…a powerful piece of physical theatre.”
Review: History Of Ireland
“A slick combination of politically driven theatre, dance and comedy with more than a touch of the Blarney…”
Review: End Times: An Immersive Adventure
A Thought Provoking and Sagacious Escapade into an End of the World Immersive Experience
Review: (Even) Hotter
A hilarious expose of what is hot, in your body, for your body and with other bodies.

Welcome to Honey's Happening where pineapple surprise and party games are sure to bring about world peace
Review: Pamela’s Palace
A very entertaining theatrical experience - creative, well acted and lots of laughter!!!
Review: £￥€$ (Lies)
By the end of this you’ll know far more about the banking sector than even Robert Peston explains. Now go and play them for a fool.
