Tuesday 13th September 2022 at Bush Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Maygan Forbes When Zafar (played by Esh Alladi) flees his hometown and homophobic persecution, he seeks asylum in London.

Monday 12th September 2022 at Leeds Playhouse. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any mention of The Importance of Being Earnest is often sure to evoke a dramatic exclamation of “A HANDBAG?!”.

Thursday 8th September 2022 at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Tina Zucco Flashbang is a play that celebrates life.

Thursday 1st September, 2022 at Camden People’s Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman POP POP POP: TILL YOU STOP is an performance art piece that is more akin to something you might see at Tate Modern or the MoMa in New York.

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.
