Check out these pictures of the UK première of punkplay at Southwark Playhouse

REVIEW: BUMBLESCRATCH (Adelphi Theatre) ★★★★
Some of the best loved musicals of all time have come from the Shermans. They are true classics, and I think Robert J. Sherman’s Bumblescratch could be on its way to being just that. It is refreshing to see a new classic musical, as even though musicals have developed and changed in style over the […]
REVIEW: PARTY (Above The Stag) ★★★★★
There is one word that springs to mind to describe the thrilling experience that was watching ‘Party’ – FAB-U-LOUS! It’s not often that a comedy is this effective in producing consistent laugh-out-loud reactions from an audience, but there was no shortage here. It was rather like watching a saucy version of ‘Friends’, except with seven […]
REVIEW: THE MGM STORY (Upstairs at the Gatehouse) ★★★★
Judy Garland saunters through an empty film studio of Hollywood institution MGM, browsing through the unused costumes and camera equipment, while some stagehands sweep the premises. Or so it seems – the snappy start of the narration soon breaks the spell, and all cast burst into song. Less a musical or play than an educational […]
REVIEW: TWO MAN SHOW (Soho Theatre) ★★★★
The title of the event Two Man Show is slightly misleading as there are no men in the show and three women, however that is a mere bagatelle next to the real content of the show. RashDash was formed at the University of Hull in 2009. It comprises two very talented young women, Helen Goalen […]

REVIEW: DIARY OF A MADMAN (Gate Theatre) ★★★★
Al Smith’s witty new adaptation is based on Gogol’s classic story. Transporting the action to modern day Scotland, Gogol’s protagonist Poprishchin becomes the engineer Pop Sheeran – a troubled man spiralling towards insanity when his senses of personal, professional and national identity are seriously challenged in a post-Brexit world. Pop Sheeran is not a civil […]
