See Me Now- Young Vic
See Me Now- Young Vic
As the lights go down at the end of See Me Now’s press night the audience rise collectively to their feet in outright admiration. This display of elation is not born out of left liberal values, but out of respect for the performers, for the gutsy real life stories they as an audience have just been witness to and the realisation of the emotional cost that telling such stories has for the…

Open Your Mind: Theatre Space, Performance, and Audience
Courtyard Theatre Battersea Arts Centre. Photo courtesy of Howarth Tompkins. It’s a hot day in August 2016 and I am cooling off in the Courtyard, Battersea Arts Centre’s new outdoor theatre that is tucked away in a precinct within the centre’s huge building, as artistic director David Jubb passionately describes how the new space has come into being. This isn’t the first time I’ve been in the…

Belarus, the disabled, the KGB and Belarus Free Theatre's Fortinbras
Belarus, the disabled, the KGB and Belarus Free Theatre’s Fortinbras
Belarus Free Theatre’s theatrical laboratory Fortinbras’ provocations of pop up contemporary art and theatre shone a bright light through the chinks of the armor of Belarus’ dictatorship this past December in a cold and rainy Minsk. Belarus Free Theatre (BFT) pioneer performance inspired campaigning, now, only months after Belarus signed the UN convention to protect the human rights of those with…

Now This Is Not The End: Arcola Theatre Set in Berlin and London, this is a play as much about migrating energies as it is about the Jewish people.
The Cafe Place
The woman came into the cafe as usual after finishing her shift. It was pissing down outside, the rain was unpleasant: it wasn’t cool, crisp and clear, it was thick and sticky, like an unrelenting stream of milk from a mother’s breast. It collated in gravy pools in gutters slimy with rubbish and discarded clothes and shoes. It made London hot and heavy. The woman had just finished work in a…

My Children! My Africa!- Tristan Bates Theatre
My Children! My Africa!- Tristan Bates Theatre
Cage up hope on Nancy Surman’s stage for My Children! My Africa! at Tristan Bates Theatre and see what happens. Athol Fugard’s play set in the later years of apartheid asks, perhaps now the most fundamental question of the 21st Century, what is the best means to overcome oppression? And what is love? Friendship? Betrayal? Forgiveness? The play has not been revived in London for 25 years but it’s…

As Good A Time as Any- Print Room
If the best way to enrich a field of debate is to offer alternatives, then the best way to enrich theatre is to do the same- Peter Gill’s As Good a Time As Any, a haunting collective of 8 female voices who breathe in one breath the breath of London, is an alternative, although its alternativeness may not at once be apparent. To the background of sculptor and performance artist Bruce McLean’s huge…

A Breakfast of Eels- Print Room
A Breakfast of Eels- Print Room
Robert Holman’s new play is about love. Though the two men in it barely touch. It’s about the love between friends, it’s about fatherly love, brotherly love. Perhaps it borders on the physical and the sexual. But we don’t know and don’t care. Because it is a love which acts, a love which lasts and is everlasting. It has no need to define itself, the one definition of true love. Andrew Sherridan…

Long Distance
In a year or two he could be gone an open coffin at the crematorium but for now, he has his pride. ‘defied the odds’ a Doctor’s grimace sure that he’s clinging on, like surfers peaking a wave or limpets saving themselves from the dog’s tongue. This gentle wallowing in the shallows, rage a lap lapping at hind legs is a coldness at his bum hole whispering ‘this man won’t go to death and is costing…

Muswell Hill- Park Theatre, review *** Slavoj Zizek quotes somewhere in his book Living in the End Times, that everyone loves a revolution- or pushes for one- as long as it is not in their backyard.
The Chronicles of Kalki- review- Gate Theatre
Kalki meaning White Horse or Destroyer of Filth, is the final avatar or incarnation of Vishnu, the sustainer and protector in the Hindu faith. In this play, the second of the Displaced Hindu Gods series by playwright Aditi Brennan Kapil, Kalki is a young Vishnu avatar [Amrita Acharia] who is quite literally, on Madeleine Girling’s thin thunder bolt diagonal stage that represents the panels of a…

Out of The Cage- Park Theatre
A play of two halves, there’s a lot to take in in Alex McSweeney’s premiere Out of The Cage, which he also directs and which focuses on the gender struggle fought by ‘munitionettes’, women drafted into TNT factories to help the WW1 effort.
The detail in Alex McSweeney’s play has to be admired; from Tegen Hitchen’s courageous TNT poisoned Dee Jessop to Sarah Madigan’s passionate Bolshevist…

On male and female Sociopaths, rejection and the importance of endings – a look at Blue Jasmine, Another Year, Scarlett Street and La Chienne
Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine has Cate Blanchett, in the film’s final scene, sitting on a bench next to a woman and talking to herself out loud before, presumably, shuffling off to be a bag lady. Mike Leigh’s most recent feature, Another Year, and in homage…
