Tuesday 27th September 2022 at Leeds Playhouse. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ All’s fair in love and a merry war? Ask this bunch! Much Ado About Nothing is one of William Shakespeare’s best comedies - it’s certainly one of my absolute favourites. Here, Ramps on the Moon and Sheffield Theatres have teamed up for a production of this comedic... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 21st September 2022 at Bush Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Maygan Forbes When Tyler (played by Charlie Kafflyn) takes up driving lessons for the first time with trusty instructor Max (played by Geoffrey Aymer), not only do his lessons cover the rules of the road, but lessons in life and our duty of responsibility become...

Tuesday 13th September 2022 at Harrogate Theatre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Harrogate Theatre’s Rep Company are back with three plays over three weeks and they’re off to a flying start with their take on Abigail’s Party. As a sit-com taking aim at the minefield that is a polite social gathering with strangers, this play is full of golden... Continue Reading →
Monday 12th September 2022 at Leeds Playhouse. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any mention of The Importance of Being Earnest is often sure to evoke a dramatic exclamation of “A HANDBAG?!”. At long last I know why, and it doesn’t disappoint. Considered a classic of Oscar Wilde’s catalogue, the play certainly receives great treatment here thanks to a brilliant... Continue Reading →
Monday 15th August 2022 at the Etcetera Theatre, Camden ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Jonathan Walfisz Note: mild spoilers within… George is having a bad week at work. In fact, George is having a very bad life at work. As the underappreciated intern at the ‘Failure Studies’ journal, he’s demeaned by his two editors as he’s forced to... Continue Reading →
Thursday 11th August 2022 at the Omnibus Theatre, Clapham. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Through Try Harder, Pursued by a Dragon Theatre Company and Yusuf Niazi have fully embraced the absurdity and black humour that engulfs today’s Cost of Living crisis. While, at moments, it seems that Niazi has not quite yet mastered a balance between... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 10th August 2022 at Chelsea Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman With Lucid, writer and co-director Laura Henderson Child, Martha Harlan (also co-director) and As If Productions have painted a hilarious, embarrassing, and touching portrait of what it means to be 11 years old in 2010. Lucid is a Dance Nation-esque comedy that uses... Continue Reading →
Thursday 4th August 2022 at the Poodle Club, London. ⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Harmon Leon has the beginnings of a bold, comic-theatrical experiment in The Jokes Saved My Soul. The work is a hybrid of genres (stand-up comedy, multimedia performance art, and musical theatre, to name a few). Through these devices, Leon attempts to convey... Continue Reading →
Thursday 28th July 2022 at the Alexandra Palace Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Issy Flower Tom Dick and Harry at Alexandra Palace is a queer beast. Not quite farce, not quite historical drama, it often comes off as Carry On Up The POW Camp and despite strong performances, prioritises jokes to its detriment. Anyone who’s seen...

Wednesday 27th July 2022 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jersey Boys is ultimately a cracking hit parade celebrating one of the best singing groups of the 1960’s: The Four Seasons. It’s a lively, sharply delivered show which offers comedy and drama as bookends to a fantastic catalogue of toe tapping classics. We... Continue Reading →
