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.

Friday 31st March 2023 at Harrogate Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Born, raised and residing in Yorkshire, John Godber has just the kind of grounding needed to write a comedy like this.

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 →
Thursday March 2nd 2023 at Bush Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Dela Ruth Hini Bush Theatre’s latest production, Sleepova, is a beautiful homage to Black British sisterhood.
