Date: 30th September 2025 Stars: 2 Get Down Tonight promises a party. KC and the Sunshine Band on stage, disco ball glitter, a chance to forget the grey outside Charing Cross for 90 minutes. The trouble is, the glitter wears thin quickly, and what you’re left with is a show that feels more like a… Read more

Date: 29th September 2025 Stars: 3 Mary Page Marlowe is a strange watch. You see a whole life laid out in fragments – marriages crumbling, kids slipping away, mistakes that bruise everything around them – and yet somehow it all feels muted. Big, sad things happen, but the air in the room stays oddly calm,… Read more

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
