13th September 2022 at The Yard Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Vinay Patel’s daring reimagining of The Cherry Orchard brings a newfound urgency to Anton Chekhov’s original. With the help of Rosie Elnile’s inspired set design, Lewis den Hertog’s dystopic video design, and James Macdonald’s clipped, contained direction assisted by several standout performances, new...

Thursday 8th September 2022 at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Tina Zucco Flashbang is a play that celebrates life. A show that entertains and touches the audience from beginning to end. I had heard a lot about Proforça Theatre, so I was very excited to catch this four-hander at the Lion and... Continue Reading →
Saturday 20th August 2022 at the Hen & Chickens Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman An all-too-familiar subject matter plops into a post-dramatic structure, giving birth to Gabriel Phelan’s Glass Boy. Tight performances, direction, sound design, and choreography ensure that Glass Boy leaves an impression long after you have left the theatre. Being a one-person... Continue Reading →
Monday 15th August 2022 at The Hope Theatre, Islington. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Maygan Forbes TRIGGER WARNING: eating disorders Keep It Down (written and performed by Emma Oldfield and directed by Kierath Jandoo) is an uncomfortable watch.

Friday 5th August 2022 at The Rose and Crown, Kentish Town ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Two unlikely friends are stuck in a basement (for this performance, a literal pub basement) awaiting the end of the world.

Thursday 28th July 2022 at the Alexandra Palace Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Issy Flower Tom Dick and Harry at Alexandra Palace is a queer beast. Not quite farce, not quite historical drama, it often comes off as Carry On Up The POW Camp and despite strong performances, prioritises jokes to its detriment. Anyone who’s seen...

Wednesday 27th July 2022 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jersey Boys is ultimately a cracking hit parade celebrating one of the best singing groups of the 1960’s: The Four Seasons. It’s a lively, sharply delivered show which offers comedy and drama as bookends to a fantastic catalogue of toe tapping classics. We... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 13th July 2022 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera house. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Rachael D From the moment the multi-coloured curtain lifted and the orchestra struck up the overture, this production, directed by Laurence Connor, swept the audience along in a celebration of a beloved musical. Our narrator, Linzi Hateley, was the star of the... Continue Reading →
Thursday 7th July 2022 at the Old Red Lion Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Jonathan Walfisz The experience of watching Report to an Academy at the Old Red Lion Theatre is one of two halves, despite being a one-act play. The play is based on the 1917 Franz Kafka short story of the same name and... Continue Reading →
Thursday 30th June 2022 at Bush Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Maygan Forbes Our stories on women adjusting to life after lived experience of the Criminal Justice System are few and far between. I can think of a couple of films such as Wild Rose (dir. Tom Harper) and The Unforgivable (dir. Nora Fingscheidt), I’m sure... Continue Reading →
