Friday 28th April 2023 at the Finborough Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman The Retreat is reminiscent of much of the realist dramas that North American audiences seemingly couldn't get enough of in the early 2000s. Most of the time, it reads less theatrical and nearly slice-of-life. As much as the 4-person cast and the... Continue Reading →
Tuesday April 18th 2023 at Arcola Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman In American schools, World War II’s Eastern Front conclusion is given but a few lines in the textbooks. But Michael Mears’ two-hander, The Mistake, interweaves verbatim material through a narrative that oscillates between the creation of the nuclear bomb and the bombing of... Continue Reading →
Friday 10th March 2023 at New Diorama Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman After the Act, a brand-new musical from NDT Associates, Breach, (from which you may have also seen It’s True, It’s True, It’s True) has conquered the beast that is verbatim theatre. This (unfortunately) timely story is brought to the fore through multimedia... Continue Reading →
Tuesday 7th February 2023 at Ambassadors Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Rob Madge, former West End child actor, has turned into a bold solo performer with something important to say (and sometimes, to sing) in My Son’s a Queer (but what can you do?). Using projected video which showcases real footage from several moments in... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 14th December 2022 at Bernie Grant Arts Centre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman It is difficult to imagine how young people must encounter the world of books, words, stories, and imagination when, today, most of these appear in pixelated, digital, two-dimensional forms. However, through The Lost Lending Library Punchdrunk Enrichment has revived what it means... Continue Reading →
Friday 9th December 2022 at Soho Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Jonathan Walfisz Few plays have titles more on the nose than Lesbian Space Crime. At the Soho Theatre’s Upstairs space, the show opens with a bold declarative song saying we’re in for a bit of exactly what it says on the tin. Lesbian Space Crime... Continue Reading →
Thursday 24th November 2022 at The Jack Studio Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Tina Zucco Wasted is a fast-paced, dynamic play, debuting MICA Theatre with a bang. A show that entertains and touches the audience from beginning to end. Wasted, written by Kae Tempest and directed by Tony Clarke, sees friends Temi (Seraphina Beh), Danny (Ted... Continue Reading →
Monday 21st November 2022 *Work in progress Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Naomi Westerman’s BATMAN is still a work-in-progress, and its work is still showing. When I arrived on a blistering cold Monday night, there were 4 other gracious, but eager, audience members in the house. You couldn’t help but have this inform the tone for the... Continue Reading →
Friday 4th November 2022 at King’s Head Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Jonathan Walfisz Note: contains spoilers and discussion of sex-based trauma. In the near future, Alice wakes up in the Lethe facility with a probe attached to her skull and no memory of how she got there. Though doctors and nurses come and go, they... Continue Reading →
Thursday 3rd November 2022 at The Baron’s Court Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Tina Zucco Avocado Presents is on at the Baron’s Court Theatre every Thursday at 9pm, with a improvised one act comedy.
