REVIEW: Chigger Foot Boys, Tara Arts Theatre ✭✭✭
It’s a harrowing evening, made all the more depressing by the knowledge that Cumpton’s poetic script is a narrative woven from true events.

REVIEW: The Cherry Orchard, Arcola Theatre ✭✭✭✭
Mehmet Ergen’s production of Chekhov’s final play is thoughtful and thought-provoking, characterised by a number of terrific performances and a well-judged sense of irresolution. Whether you are a Chekhov neophyte or keen scholar, I am certain that you will be enriched by this production.
REVIEW: The Understudy, Canal Cafe Theatre ✭✭✭✭
A witty and very enjoyable look at the world of star casting, The Understudy is a must see for those involved in the theatre business and those curious about behind the scenes. Comedic and clever, this UK premiere makes for a very entertaining evening.
REVIEW: Lizzie, Greenwich Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
This is the greatest American musical since ‘Sweeney Todd’. I have seen it twice this week, in the wonderful production by the American director, Victoria Bussert, that is now playing for just three weeks at Greenwich Theatre, and I do not make that claim lightly.
REVIEW: The Sorrows Of Satan, Tristan Bates Theatre ✭✭✭✭
This delicious new musical is the wittiest, most elegant and most extraordinary new show on offer in town right now.
REVIEW: Twelfth Night, National Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
This is a bloody flashy production, it feels Simon Godwin has thrown everything he can find at it including the kitchen sink, or in this case, hot tub and spa.
REVIEW: The Girls, Phoenix Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
I left the theatre teared up with an almighty lump in my throat and the emotion of the show is still with me twenty fours later. The Girls is a superb night in the theatre. It’s a case study in how to tell a story with sincerity, humour and buckets of love. Don’t delay, go and see it for yourself!
REVIEW: Alice Fearn, Where I’ve Been…Where I’m Going CD ✭✭✭✭✭
Take a listen to Alice Fearn, listening to this album only confirms what I first suspected at that first performance of Shrek, Alice Fearn is a STAR! of this I have no doubt.
