Thursday, 27th February 2025 at Union Theatre, Southwark ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Almost 60 years on from the harrowing mining disaster, Mr Jones explores the unfathomable loss of the forever-altered Welsh village of Aberfan. On the morning of 21 October 1966, the last Friday before half term, a landslide of coal waste crashed into the... Continue Reading →
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 →
Friday, 2nd July 2024 at Theatro Technis ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman I first saw Second Hand Problems in its infancy at a scratch night at The Cockpit, and it's always thrilling to see how a show blossoms. In this Camden Fringe production, with the addition of a few more to the creative team, the piece has certainly... Continue Reading →
Tuesday, 9th July 2024 at Southwark Playhouse - Elephant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman The cast of West End's Matilda better watch out: The cast of The Children's Inquiry shines bright as they crack open the history of the UK's broken care system through the lens of the demographic most affected by it. While the dance-pop music may be somewhat... Continue Reading →
Friday, 21st June 2024 at Soho Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman A postdramatic gig theatre fever dream - in which the audience is invited to witness a fraught navigation through a paradoxical mix of identities - The Dao of Unrepresentative British Chinese Experience is, what I would consider to be, High Art. Heady and intellectual, the production... Continue Reading →
Monday, 3rd June 2024 at Southwark Playhouse, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TW: Domestic violence Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Unapologetic in its dark humour, The Bleeding Tree takes a unique look at the complex response to domestic violence and those who fall victim to it.

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, 8th May 2024 at New Diorama Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman In the midst of the uncontrollable back and forth diss tracks between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, it's difficult to comprehend the world of Between the Lines-- a world of artistic censorship, spurring from deeply-rooted racial antagonism and ethnic stereotypes. In this two act... Continue Reading →
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,...
