Saturday, 20th April 2024 at Park Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman A Barbie-chic aesthetic, brave performance and immersive soundscape work in service of an airtight production, but my only gripe with Algorithms is found right in its branding as a “Bridget Jones for the online generation.” Mind you, this time, it is a bisexual Bridget Jones,...

Thursday, 18th April 2024 at the King’s Head Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Amassing a cult following from its Edinburgh Fringe 2023 run, Diana, The Untold and Untrue Story solidifies Awkward Productions' uniquely wacky and unhinged formula. As always, they manage to make the audience laugh until they cry through whatever means necessary. Enlisting... 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....

Friday, 26th January 2024 at The Cockpit Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Though the premise is intriguing, “The Ending” doesn’t quite deliver what it says on the tin. Billed as “what happened after the classic story of Orpheus and Eurydice,” you might expect a re-jig to the ending of the classic myth. The ending,... Continue Reading →
Friday, 12th January 2024 at The Turbine Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Every Londoner has their own stories of the weird and wonderful things they have seen take place on the tube. Cockfosters creates a melting pot of those scenarios in a laugh-out-loud 60 minutes, which is amazingly shorter than the journey depicted in the show (Heathrow... Continue Reading →
Thursday, 19th October 2023 at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Written by Lauren Lewis, The Lodger is a sit-com play which navigates social class, inter-generational issues, and immigration in a comedic 60-minutes. We meet Mum Kate as she fusses around her husband David, and adult daughters Lily and Megan, preparing... Continue Reading →
Wednesday, 18th October 2023 at The Pleasance, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Written and performed by Peter Cook, Breaking the Castle shines a light on the often-misunderstood complexities of mental health and addiction. The moving piece, which had a critically acclaimed Fringe run, is inspired by Cook’s own extraordinary life experiences. We follow the fictionalised... Continue Reading →
Tuesday, 17th October 2023 at The Yard Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman The Yard, on the few occasions I have been, has never failed to deliver on its mission to cross genres and break boundaries-- to 'invite us into journeys of escape, euphoria, possibility and hope.' James Fritz's The Flea, directed by The Yard's... Continue Reading →
Monday, 25th September, 2023 at the Bread and Roses Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Rating: 3 Stars Note: some spoilers ahead. Zuzana Spacirova has created a whirlwind of a one-woman show in which we find Diana- a 20-something Lonely Londoner with a penchant for making friends out of inanimate, technological objects- and struggling to...

Wednesday, 23rd August at Camden People’s Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Joe Marshall VESSEL, the latest output of Oxford-based company ‘Dawn Productions’, rounded up its three-week national tour in Camden last week to a near sold-out audience at the Camden People’s Theatre. It’s an ambitious production, with a clear point of view in driving wider awareness... Continue Reading →
