REVIEW: FIVE GUYS CHILLIN’ (Kings Head Theatre) ★★★★
FIVE GUYS CHILLIN’ at the Kings Head theatre, conjures up images of dancing, 1960’s singers in fluorescent silk suits, however when a bare bottom is presented to the audience within 30 seconds of the action beginning, it becomes evidently clear that it certainly isn’t that type of a show. This verbatim ode to Grindr (written and […]

REVIEW: POKER FACE (Kings Head Theatre) ★★★★
POKER FACE is a skilfully written and very funny play, set in Prague in 2011. The action all takes place in the apartment of Jana, a wealthy, hard headed, independent woman and her daughter Pavlina.
