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

Being As I Am review for Everything Theatre
I reviewed Being As I Am at the King’s Head Theatre for Everything Theatre: Timothy Turner’s Being As I Am begins with a nameless protagonist in moderately mussed evening dress (Edmund Digby-Jones) walking into a room furnished with five bottles of gin upon a table, two glasses, and a single chair. He is, by all … Continue reading

Tea with Mamgu review for Everything Theatre
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

The Three Rings of Cirque Tsuki review for Everything Theatre
I reviewed The Three Rings of Cirque Tsuki for Everything Theatre last weekend: The performer/devisors of ImmerCity have put together an intricately nested experience of stories within stories. Don’t worry, it’s less confusing than it sounds. Inevitably there were a few places during five hours of theatre where I found my attention wandering, but overall … Continue reading

Father Nandru and the Wolves at Wilton’s Music Hall
I reviewed <em>Father Nandru and the Wolves</em> at Wilton’s Music Hall for Everything Theatre. Wilton’s has surrounded Father Nandru and the Wolves with enticing tidbits: before the show you can grab a bit of ZakuskiLondon’s Romanian-inspired finger foods, and afterwards there is live music in the bar by gypsy bands. On the night I was … Continue reading
