REVIEW: ALL YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS FULFILLED FOREVER (Vaults Festival)
Underneath Waterloo station, in a heavily graffitied tunnel, lies The Vaults. The otherworldly kooky location alone is worth a visit, and a perfect host to the modern, philosophical comedy “All Your Wants and Needs Fulfilled Forever” by the PlayGround Collective. The production is a mixture of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, “The Truman Show”, […]
REVIEW: NINA CONTI – IN YOUR FACE (Criterion Theatre)
I’m going to be honest with you. I think I’m the funniest person I have ever met. I always make myself laugh and I don’t care if other people don’t find me amusing because surely, so long as I’m having a good time, it shouldn’t affect anyone else? This is why I love stand up […]
MADE IN LDN – a season of new British musical theatre writing comes to the Cockpit Theatre
Curated and presented by Interval Productions Creative Director Tori Allen-Martin who founded the company in 2009.

REVIEW: THE FATHER (Duke of York’s Theatre)
Some suggest that time is a precious thing. This couldn’t be suggested more so than in Florian Zeller’s The Father. After successful runs at the Tricycle and Wyndham’s, it returns to the West End for a five-week run at the Duke of York’s. Kenneth Cranham plays Andre, an 80 year father to his daughter Anne […]

REVIEW: BEYOND THE FENCE (Arts Theatre)
Can a computer create a hit musical? Scientists have set out to answer this question by creating Beyond The Fence which has just opened at the Arts Theatre in London’s West End. If you look at all the big hit musicals against one another you start to see patterns form and this information […]
REVIEW: HAPPINESS IS A CUP OF TEA (Vault Festival)
Unlike some of my theatrical colleagues, I have no qualms about one woman plays. Personally, I quite like internal monologues being blown wide open on the stage, however sometimes the stereotypes can ring true. Annie McKenzie’s ‘Happiness is a Cup of Tea’ is one of these shows. Set on top of a cliff, her character […]
REVIEW: ANTIGONE (The Hope Theatre)
In a sinister, dystopic setting, five women (‘The Chorus’) tell each other Sophocles’ story of Antigone. With both parents dead and shamed their entire lives for their incestuous roots, a new tragedy befalls the children of Oedipus. The brothers have slain each other in battle, and Creon, the new King of Thebes, forbids […]
