Wednesday, 15th November 2023 at Bush Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman ‘Anyone else ever c*m blood during sex and feel like you’re going to die?... No?... Me neither’: an off-kilter opening line for an equally offbeat, darkly comedic solo show. It so appropriately sets the tone for Marcelo Dos Santos’ Feeling Afraid as if... 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.

James Fritz's The Flea, directed by The Yard's... Continue Reading →

Tuesday, 3rd October 2023 at Theatre503, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Caution: a few spoilers ahead… These Demons is one of those few plays I had genuine excitement and anticipation about.

Wednesday, 27th September 2023 at Arcola Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman The Brief Life & Mysterious Death of Boris III, King of Bulgaria made a splash at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, so I was eager to see the London transfer of this comical, self-aware narrative about Boris III, the penultimate King of Bulgaria. During World... Continue Reading →
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 →
