REVIEW: HAMLET (National Theatre) ★★★★
Hiran Abeysekera returns to the National Theatre following an Olivier Award Winning performance in Life Of Pi. Shakespeare is not my area of speciality when it comes to theatre – he didn’t write many musicals. I only remember studying Romeo and Juliet at school and I wasn’t enthralled to delve deeper into the works of […]
REVIEW: The Soon Life (Southwark Playhouse) ★★★ – October 2025
Labour on stage? Now there’s a delivery you don’t see every day. Phoebe McIntosh’s The Soon Life pushes into rarely explored territory, charting a home birth in real time while an unexpected ex crashes the party.

REVIEW: The Importance Of Being Earnest ★★★★★ – October 2025
Following a sold-out run at the National Theatre, The Importance of Being Earnest opened last night at the Noël Coward Theatre starring Olly Alexander and Stephen Fry. Directed by Max Webster, this new fresh take on Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy brings the story into the modern day and is a great example of how […]
