Review: AN AUDIENCE WITH PRISCILLA PRESLEY at the Prince Edward Theatre
Where: Prince Edward Theatre, London When: 28th September 2025 Stars: 5 There are times in the theatre when you settle into your seat expecting the usual – a script, a cast, some careful choreography – and then there are times like this. An Audience with Priscilla Presley: Life After Elvis at the Prince Edward isn’t Read more

Review: THE WARP AND THE WEFT at The Glitch
Where: The Glitch, Waterloo When: 19th September 2025 Stars: 4 The Warp and the Weft isn’t really a play you sit back and watch — it’s one you’re drawn right into. At The Glitch, with just 55 seats wrapped around the stage, there’s nowhere to hide in the dark; you’re part of the fabric as Read more

Review: JUST FOR ONE DAY at the Shaftesbury Theatre
Date: 13th September 2025 Where: Shaftesbury Theatre, London Stars: 4 There are jukebox musicals, and then there’s Just for One Day, which barrels on stage waving a charity bucket and demanding you join the chorus. It’s not subtle, but then neither was Live Aid. The show takes the most famous concert of the 1980s and Read more

Review: BORN WITH TEETH at the Wyndhams Theatre
Date: 10/09/25 Stars: 5 It’s not often you get to watch William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe sweat it out in a single pub backroom, but Liz Duffy Adams has decided that’s exactly the stage they deserve. Born With Teeth, directed by Daniel Evans at Wyndham’s, isn’t a history lesson so much as a locked-room experiment. Read more

Review: SH!T-FACED SHAKESPEARE’S HAMLET at Leicester Square Theatre
Date: 13th August 2025 Stars: 3 Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare: Hamlet took a very sober tragedy and turned it on its head with unpredictable hilarity, and yet, somehow, the scaffold of Shakespeare’s story remained intact. The concept is pretty simple, and also absolutely chaotic: take a Shakespeare play, cast it with capable, sober actors, and then get Read more

Review: CHICAGO at The Hawth, Crawley
Date: 11th August 2025 Stars: 4 Chicago isn’t the sort of show that eases you in – it arrives in a burst of brass and attitude, the band right there on stage with the cast, and within minutes you’re caught in its rhythm. At The Hawth last night, that rhythm was tight. The lights were Read more

Review: THE CROFT at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley
Date: 4th June 2025 Stars: 3 There’s a lot of promise in The Croft. A remote Highland cottage. Multiple timelines. Mothers, daughters, ghosts… the whole brooding, atmospheric package. And for the most part, it delivers exactly what you’d expect from a slow-burning psychological ghost story. There’s just a bit of creaking – and not the Read more

Review: RADIANT BOY at Southwark Playhouse Borough
Date: 23rd May 2025 Stars: 4 Some plays creep up on you quietly, but Radiant Boy doesn’t bother with that – it walks straight through the door, sits itself down, and refuses to leave your head for the rest of the night. Set in a snowed-in house in North East England in the early 80s, Read more

Review: REMYTHED at the King’s Head Theatre
If you’ve ever found yourself side-eyeing a dusty old myth and thinking, hang on… where are all the queer people, Remythed is there for you. This punchy, high-energy show takes those familiar legends we half-remember from school, turns them inside out, and rebuilds them with boldness, brains, and a solid dose of irreverence. It’s not Read more

Review: PAPER SWANS at Soho Theatre
Date: 28th April 2025 Stars: 5 Paper Swans is one of those shows that creeps up on you. It doesn’t explode onto the stage or shout for your attention. It just sits there quietly at first – on a bench, in a park, late at night – and slowly draws you into something far more Read more
