REVIEW: RENT at the Tom Stoppard Theatre ★★★
People will love it – it just wasn’t the version of RENT that I wanted to see. One of the most hyped revivals of 2026 has to be Jonathan Larson’s Tony Award-winning musical RENT, now playing at the newly renamed Tom Stoppard Theatre (previously the Duke of York’s) in London. Staged in the West End […]
Paranormal Activity returns to the West End and is frightfully good
Psychological thrillers on stage are the latest craze. From The Woman in Black to The Exorcist and more recently the 2:22 – A Ghost Story franchise, we are spoilt for choice if we want to see a play that raises our heart rate. Following a hugely successful run earlier this year, Paranormal Activity returns to […]
REVIEW: Hay Fever at Wyndham’s Theatre ★★★★
What do the wealthy elite do to keep themselves occupied? How does someone who has everything amuse themselves? By playing with the only thing they can’t buy – each other. Written in 1924, Noël Coward‘s Hay Fever is a comedy set in the English countryside, where a retired actress potters around the garden learning the […]
Amanda – The Night Before Me, Review (Bridge House Theatre) ★★★★☆
After selling out stages across Austria and Germany, Amanda – The Night Before Me has finally made its London debut and it is exactly the right time for this story to be told. Divina de Campo, best known to many as a finalist in the first UK series of RuPaul’s Drag Race, carries the entire […]
REVIEW: The Last Ship at Theatre Royal Drury Lane ★★★
When you’re sitting in the iconic Theatre Royal Drury Lane watching a 17-time Grammy Award-winning rock icon performing his own material live on stage, it’s hard not to feel like you’re getting a once in a life time experience. And throw in (for two performances only), 90’s reggae pop star Shaggy (yes, that Shaggy), it’s […]

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 […]
