A vibrant flow of group storytelling about hopes that hang on circumstance

A compelling and incredible portrait of the secrets of a celebrity couple long before the idea of celebrity had cemented into the mess that it is today, with their mess onstage.

Fadi Murad's moving piece will sink your heart and leave you with many questions
Review: Man Sings The Same Song Again and Again Over An Hour
He really does the sing the same song again and again for an hour and it works!

A brilliant, batty piece of bravura theatre. Rosalie Minnitt returns as the gloriously unhinged Clementine.

Cracking script and performances bring a fresh perspective in this new writing from Belfast.

Mrs. Stern Gives the Gestapo an Existential Crisis
Review: Shakespeare Dice: As You Like It
It's Shakespeare with karaoke, a bit of line dancing, and game show decorum thrown in!
Review: Pink Rabbit
Farah Ashraf's bold and moving performance points to some really important questions we should be engaging with
Review: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
An outstanding production. Don’t even think of journeying to the West End.

A funny, sobering story about overcoming addiction, toxic relationships, John Hughes tropes, and finding stability through ballet.
Review: Kevin!!!!!
A wildly inventive and technically astonishing reimagining of Home Alone that blends puppetry, live foley, multimedia and theatrical wizardry.

Ensemble OrQuesta should be tracked down, and The Magic Flute queued for.

A colourful, enthusiastic presentation of life between Brazil and Scotland that began in a shared love from the centre circle.
Review: Boobytrapped
Wonderfully silly and dead serious at the same time, thought provoking and intriguing.

A thought-provoking drama exposing the gaps in our care system through humour and first rate storytelling.

'atticwife' is the amalgamation of all the trad wife influencers you love to hate.

An absurdist trip glimpse into the toxic world of the manosphere, guided by a talking pig and laughing all the way.
Review: Love’s Labour’s Lost and Much Ado About Nothing
An outstanding and landmark double production.
Review: The Trial of Magnus Coffinkey
A powerful piece of theatre that shows where stories become healing.
Review: Broke & Fabulous in the 21st Century
Outrageous, touching, sentimental, privileged, and funny. Old-school falling-apart dramedy brought into a very twenty-first century setting
Review: Delphi: The Musical
This Ancient Greece-set musical comedy is poised, fresh, and joyful in the face of incoming empire
Review: Ewartung, The Murderous Delusions of Gavrilo K
Unmissable for those interested in the wilder shores of late Romanticism, once it’s staged again
Review: This Year I Am Going To Die
A witty, and thoroughly enjoyable funeral I'd be happy to attend twice
Review: Somewhere, In Between: A Play About Hope
Important monologues on the theme of hope, delivered with passion, poise and precision
Review: Love’s Labour’s Lost
Summer-drenched pizzazz and spectacle could hardly have been better timed.
Review: Oberon
Weber’s greatness – wider than his operas - has been rather underplayed in his bicentenary year in the UK, the place which finally killed him off.
Review: Thresholds
It's a fascinating journey nowhere, and somehow that's exactly where you want to be.
Review: Short Stories of Life and Death
A wonderful advertisement for NVT’s programme, attracting and nurturing some formidable talent. Where next?
Review: The Misanthrope
Impressive. This Moliere, with Sandra Oh commanding too, seems slightly less urgent though eminently worth seeing.
Review: War Horse
An astonishing spectacle that still moves and will forever craze the idiocy of war on the retina like an iced-over No-Man’s Land.
Review: Appropriate
NVT confirm this a masterpiece, something I’d not fully appreciated in the excellent 2019 Donmar production, which this excels. Outstanding
Review: My Fair Lady
Kavanagh’s production is in every way outstanding, I’m not sure there’s been a finer – or at least more believable - My Fair Lady conceived and staged as here.
Review: Tender
With such terrific performances you root for this not-yet-couple right to the blackout.

An autobiographical mise-en-scène of one's own anxieties projected onto Anton Chekhov's The Seagull which embraces the larger subject of mental health in Portuguese society.
Review: -320°F
If you’ve not seen a Noda production, see it. If you have, see it. It’s still the most intelligent spectacular I’ve seen in recent times.
Review: Wife to James Whelan
It should transfer, though nothing can beat this space for delivery. Outstanding, a must-see if ever there was one.
Review: Much Ado About Nothing
Not only lands in all the right places, it fizzes perhaps more than any Much Ado I’ve seen.
Review: Caterpillar
This is a richly freighted drama: all the issues around loss, abuse, displacement and ideation circle in two-hours-twenty with interval.
Review: 45 Years
Acting and often dialogue still compel in long bursts. It sets a seal on one of the swiftest slow-burn productions I’ve seen.
