Wednesday, 11th September 2024 at the Garrick Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes This big fancy new musical navigates the minefield of modern dating by dissecting the age-old question: Why Am I So Single? The much-anticipated musical from Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss (who also directs), the duo behind cult-favourite SIX, proves lightening can in... Continue Reading →
Thursday, 15th August 2024 at Arcola Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman It must be wishful thinking, but I consistently hope against hope that there will be a day when far-right, Neo-Nazi terrorism will cease to be relevant. And even though it depicts events that occurred nearly 15 years ago, against the backdrop of the... Continue Reading →
Monday, 20th May 2024 at Arcola Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman When it comes to American playwrights, Suzan-Lori Parks is a pretty big fish. And across the pond, she certainly made a splash with the 2021 European premiere of her naturalistic dramedy, White Noise, at the Bridge Theatre. This time, one of her lesser-known works -...

Wednesday, 21st February 2024 at the Yard Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman When I first encountered Samuel Takes a Break... in 2021, in a teeny, 15-minute scratch as part of Omnibus Theatre's Engine Room, I still remember one line nearly 3 years later. It's a line that tour guide Samuel (played with equal parts levity and... Continue Reading →
Friday, 2nd February 2024 at Pleasance Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Based on real events- which you can hardly believe actually happened- Awkward Productions’ Gwyneth Goes Skiing is a deliciously campy drag/comedy that, despite the occasional hiccup, will leave any audience member (in the words of Linus Karp’s Gwyneth) “gooped and gagged” for more....

Tuesday, 26th September 2023 at Shoreditch Town Hall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman We’re brought into what strikes me as an evidence room: boxes on boxes stacked atop metal shelves that are posed in neat little rows and poorly lit conditions. What a container for a verbatim theatre piece. Woodhill, however, is not entirely verbatim. That... Continue Reading →
Friday, 18th August 2023 at Southwark Playhouse, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman What you might expect from a piece like Dumbledore is So Gay is something that skirts the very edge of copyright infringement laws. I was thinking Harry Potter, but taking place in some imaginary, queer fantasia. I was thinking it would be pure... Continue Reading →
July 2023 Featuring four idiot clowns named Balloonless, Tasteless, Childless and Friendless, who attempt to put on a memorial for their dead friend - having never before performed it without him - “EVERYTHING, ALWAYS: The Memorial” promises to be quite a wild ride. This new show from the Freshly Squeezed Company is set to play... Continue Reading →
