REVIEW: The Albatross 3rd and Main (Park Theatre) ★★★★
After a successful run at the Emporium Theatre in Brighton, Simon David Eden brings his dark comedy to the Park Theatre. Inspired by Sam Shepard’s work, Eden’s play is quintessentially American, taking place in a run-down convenience store in small-town Massachusetts that has not seen any customers in a long time.

REVIEW: Lord of Thrones – The 10th Annual London 50 hour Improvathon (Wilton’s Music Hall) ★★★★
The 10th annual London 50 hour Improvathon is an improvised story in twenty five, two hour long sections. Performed by a delicious group of young talented actors. It is hilarious, warm hearted and a laugh a second. The two, two hour sections that I witnessed were hilarious. Even the hardcore blanket wrapped sections of the […]

REVIEW: BITCHES AHOY! (Above The Stag) ★★★★

A follow-on from last year’s production of ‘Alright Bitches!’, this year’s delivery of nautical naughtiness is set on a cruise ship making its way round Europe – but what makes this particular boat special is the almost-exclusivity of gays aboard! Best friends Garth and […]
REVIEW: THE DOPPEL GANG (Tristan Bates Theatre) ★★★★
The Doppel Gang is a failing, discouraged theatre company, working in a crumbling old theatre, with just a week to go until they have to permanently close down due to lack of punters.
