I reviewed Wilton’s Strike! dance festival for Everything Theatre: Wilton’s Music Hall is a wondrous tiny empire of creativity tucked away in a less than trendy part of the East End. Squeezed on all sides by the trendy bits, Tower Hamlets nonetheless stubbornly clinging to its own lack of trendiness – I live nearby. It … Continue reading

In each of the seven short plays that make up Autobahn the characters question whether they’re using words correctly, whether they’ve captured exactly what they mean, whether they’ve cheapened a … Continue reading
