Thursday 27th October 2022 at Brockley Jack Studio Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Alternate-history plays, for the most part, have the tendency to be more alien than not. Unfamiliar, dystopic worlds often mean a lot of work on the audience’s part to “figure out” this unfamiliar territory. With Behind Closed Walls, however, writer Daryl... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 26th October 2022 at The Space, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Wasted time is perhaps the worst feeling of them all.

Thursday 13th October 2022 at at the Jack Studio Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Issy Flower James Woolf’s The Play With Speeches is an unwieldy comic beast: long and unformed, it delivers the laughs but is neither satirical nor emotional enough to transcend its limitations. Anthony (Matthew Parker) and Penny (Gillian King) are auditioning for Anthony’s... Continue Reading →
Friday 7th October 2022 at King’s Head Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Tina Zucco How to Have a Baby and Not Lose Your Shit is an hour of guilty laughter that entertains from start to finish.

Saturday October 1st 2022 at Bread & Roses Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Tender Mercies is a one-woman show that presents a promising turnaround for the true crime genre. It doesn’t exploit or use death as a means for continued audience engagement. In fact, it does quite the opposite. Collette Cullen, the playwright, has... Continue Reading →
