Bloodsport: After Helen of Troy at Stratford East, Review ★★★★★
When the men stop fighting, it seems the women have only just begun. Following on from Ava Pickett‘s debut play 1536 (which I said was one of my top three plays I have ever seen), her new show Bloodsport: After Helen of Troy was obviously a piece of theatre I was going to see – […]

THE STORY at National Theatre, Review ★★★★
Like any great play, The Story at National Theatre asks more questions than it answers. Truth has taken on a flexible persona in the last 10 years. News outlets reporting on the decline of it while themselves manipulating narrative, has become the kind of Black Mirror-esque metaverse we have resigned to normality. Journalism and objectivity […]
Cate Blanchett stars in National Theatre’s Electra/Persona – Review
Electra/Persona at the National Theatre – Cate Blanchett stars in this muddled Greek tragedy that left me bored You can’t move in London’s West End right now without stumbling into a Greek tragedy. Hadestown retelling the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, The Oresteia at the Bridge Theatre, and just last year Brie Larson starring in […]
Trans People Are Awful (Edinburgh Fringe Review) ★★★★
Trans People Are Awful – what a brilliantly uncomfortable and intriguing title that should surely never be said aloud? But why not? Aren’t trans people just like everyone else? Well, that’s the whole point. Written and performed by Ros Watt, this pitch-black comedy thriller is a provocative piece of new theatre that was born from […]
Bliss (Edinburgh Fringe Review) ★★

It’s also probably one of the worst venues, for sound at least. I’ve made a point not to comment on sound […]
The Big Bad Wolf (Edinburgh Fringe Review) ★★★★★
When I walked into the hotel lobby and saw a sea of screaming children, I realised I hadn’t been thinking properly when I booked to go and see a show called The Big Bad Wolf at eleven-thirty in the morning. But fifty minutes later, I left the performance as one of the adults who had […]

Muse – The Shakespeare Mayhem Musical Edinburgh Fringe Review ★★★★★
Edinburgh Fringe Festival breakout hit from 2017, SIX the Musical, is a popular format for new musicals to try to follow. Put a bunch of historical figures on stage together and let them battle it out in some kind of competition to decide who is the best. But this isn’t a new format for a […]
