I reviewed Be Here Now at Shoreditch Town Hall for Everything Theatre recently: When I arrived in the theatre the sickly sweet smell of the smoke machine took me straight back to the long-forgotten (and perhaps best forgotten) school discos of my youth. I then promptly sat in the wrong row, the one that performer … Continue reading

A Catered Affair, London Theatre Workshop – Review for Everything Theatre
I reviewed this musical for Everything Theatre: When you’re planning to trek across London from Wapping to Wandsworth for a show, it better be a damn good show. A Catered Affair is just that. From my admittedly rather swift glance at the promotional material I had the impression this would be a frothy little musical … Continue reading

Thick and Tight and 70/30 Split, The Lion & Unicorn Theatre – Review for Everything Theatre
I reviewed this double bill for Everything Theatre: Part of the GOlive Dance and Performance Festival at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre, it took me a little while to understand the rationale behind pairing these acts by Thick and Tight (Daniel Hay-Gordon and Eleanor Perry) and 70/30 Split (Lydia Cottrell and Sophie Unwin). As the … Continue reading

He is, by all … Continue reading

I reviewed Tea with Mamgu for Everything Theatre: The thing about seeing theatre is, sometimes it really is just down to a matter of taste. The current production of Tea With Mamgu at the London Welsh Centre is a good example, as, at least in my viewing, it elicited a wide range of responses. Two … Continue reading

Best of Friends review for Everything Theatre
I reviewed Best of Friends for Everything Theatre recently: The Landor is one of the best pub/theatre setups I’ve yet seen. The cozy bar downstairs full of squashy couches and mismatched chairs looks like a great place to while away a weekend afternoon, and there’s even a garden if it’s sunny. In the upstairs theatre, The … Continue reading
