REVIEW: A Woman Of No Importance, Vaudeville Theatre ✭✭✭
Whilst Wilde’s intelligent witticisms are successfully displayed here, and despite there being some good performances, ‘A Woman of No Importance’ feels far too long, and a sense of momentum and buzz is missing.
Milly Thomas’ Dust transfers to Soho Theatre
Following a sell-out run at this years Edinburgh Fringe, Milly Thomas’ award-winning play Dust is to transfer to Soho Theatre from 20 February to 17 March 2018. Directed by Sara Joyce, Dust is a freshing, caustic and comedic treatment of one woman’s depression, suicide and everything that happens afterwards. Milly Thomas was awarded a Stage Edinburgh Award for her performance in Dust. Milly Thomas comments, I’m beyond excited to bring Dust to a London audience. For the show to come to Soho Theatre after the support and nurturing they have given me from the very start of my career feels like a dream come true. So much of my very favourite work have grown from this venue and I’m hugely excited for this next chapter in Dust’s afterlife.

Milly Thomas wins Stage Edinburgh Award for Dust
Milly Thomas has won a Stage Edinburgh Award for her performance in Dust – a self-penned piece, directed by Sara Joyce.

REVIEW: The Scar Test, Soho Theatre ✭✭✭
The Scar Test is a striking piece, with deeply unsettling moments that will remain with the audience for a long time afterwards.
Dust gives suicide a caustic comedic treatment
Dust a play by Millie Thomas that is a refreshing, caustic and comedic treatment of one woman’s depression, suicide and everything that happens afterwards comes to the Edinburgh Festival 2017. A woman. A suicide. A choice. A fly on the wall. A funeral. A Bakewell tart. A life. A lie. A truth. An ending. Of sorts. Alice thinks that life isn’t worth living. So she kills herself. Sort of. She is stuck, a fly on the wall. Forced to watch the aftermath of her suicide and its ripple effect on her family and friends, Alice quickly learns that death changes people. And that death is not the change she hoped for. Milly Thomas said “I’m fascinated by the way we eulogise people once they’ve died. The way we rewrite whole lives to suit our own narratives and the use of euphemism as a masking tool of the dead never … Read more
