Review: Tom, Dick and Harry at Alexandra Palace Theatre, London
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...

Monday 25th July 2022 at Theatre 503, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Jonathan Walfisz Anyone with any sense should know that little good can come from racking up lines in a grim pub toilet with a complete stranger.

Review: Tittitutar Town at The White Bear Theatre
Thursday 7th July 2022 at the White Bear Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Maygan Forbes Welcome to the wildly catchy named town called Tittitutar (pronounced Tit-it-two-tar) where everything is slightly upside down!

Review: Report to an Academy at the Old Red Lion Theatre
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.
