A charming, intimate and disarmingly direct story of matchmaking in the big city
Genre: Solo Performance 0
Review: Life and Death (But Mainly Death)
A warm and thoroughly life affirming show (mostly about death)
Review: Jeu Jeu La Foille: Frontal Lobotomy
Burlesque, poetry, puppetry and the history of frontal lobotomy
Review: Stunning The Punters
Arguably, no single person in English theatre has a better understanding and presents a fuller expression of physical theatre than George Dillon. His vocal range is phenomenal whilst his physical presence is captivating. Superlatives become redundant.
Review: Joan, Babs & Sheila Too
A stunning traversal of Joan Littlewood’s life by Gemskii and Conscious Theatre. Without her, there would never have been A Taste of Honey, Oh What a Lovely War, or much of postwar British theatre.
Review: Something Rotten
Scintillating subversive and original take on Hamlet’s unhappy uncle, weighed down by doubts and too many jokers. Beware of complicity.
Review: First Love
Conor Lovett lightens his pitch Becket’s exploration of lust, sexual disgust and the intolerable consequences of generation.
Review: The End
Conor Lovett rivets with a naturalistic pitch in this cut-down stand-up Beckett diminuendo of an ex-inmate’s prospects. More tour de force in a tour de farce of Beckett’s genius.
Review: The Marlowe Papers
A diamond in Shakespeare’s or Marlowe’s ruff? Ros Barber’s novel adapted for the stage, starring vaulting Jamie Martin.
Review: Thorn
Tremendously energised one-man play about an Australian minister's son on a mission, but which one?
Review: Outside the Box: A Live Show about Death
A thought provoking, funny and moving performance by a masterful story teller, requiring us to think carefully about death and dying before it is too late.
Review: Hip
Hip is a must see show. A Brighton-spirited séance with tequila, nibbles, tenderness and laughter.
Review: Mummy or The Art of Saying Goodbye
A brilliantly conceived, directed and performed piece of tragi-comic, food-for-thought theatre. If you get the chance to see it, jump at it.
