All the Little Lights, Tristan Bates, WC1
A dark thread of humour runs through this play that packs short, powerful punch
Erin Mullen as Lisa (left) and Lucy Mabbitt as Joanne in All the Little Lights
Addressing serious topics is part of the remit of the arts, but plays With. A. Message. can be clunky and overplayed.
We look to books, films and theatre to entertain us, of course, but the arts are also a crucial way of helping us…

Theatre Review: Good People, Noël Coward Theatre
Theatre Review: Good People, Noël Coward Theatre
Matthew Barker, Imelda Staunton, Lorraine Ashbourne and June Watson in Good People
There’s been some mutterings in the press in recent weeks about new US playwrights and actors staging some kind of theatrical coup in London.
Of the past six plays I’ve seen, three have been American (and I’m lined up to see Kathleen Turner in the latest production from across the pond in Bakersfield Mistthis…

Food, wine and theatre are the perfect ingredients for an evening of immersive delights
What better way to spend a searing hot day in July than in a bunker in the depths of east London? Hidden away under London’s steaming concrete, far from the record-breaking heat, the hottest ticket in town is Chambers_ – a collaboration between Gingerline and Flavourology – part theatre part culinary experience that ticks all your sensory boxes.
Described as a “palette twisting, interactive, multi-dimensional dining adventure”, Chambers_ is super sharp and wildly imaginative, the loose narrative arc no barrier to an evening of food, fun and flights of fancy.
What happens in this underground world is shrouded in mystery – those who’ve passed through the multi-verse are sworn to secrecy, but it’s breaking no promises to say that Chambers_ is a tight, well-directed and acted romp with none of the hysterical improv that can tip an immersive experience into a toe-curling experience.
There’s no real plot but you don’t really notice as you move through a series of set pieces each with its own cast of characters – and roles for the audience. In each room you get to tuck into one of the five dishes that you’re given along your journey, fusing the theme of the performance with appropriate food.
The food is good… The programme warns it’s not Michelin star but the meals are tasty and flavourful (there’s a reason I’m not a food critic). I’m a vegetarian but my meat-eating plus one enjoyed her carnivorousness treats just as much.
While the fusion of food, art and performance is the draw, the real star of the show are the sets. Wonderfully imaginative and brilliantly realised, they bring to life these other worlds and play a large part in taking your brains – and your tastebuds – to another dimension.

The Night of the Iguana, Noël Coward Theatre (preview)
The Night of the Iguana, Noël Coward Theatre (preview)
A long journey into the night as a big name cast fails to imbue relevance to this three-hour-plus production
“Oh, God, can’t we stop now? Finally?”
The last line in The Night of Iguana resonated for all the wrong reasons: after over three hours in a broiling hot theatre surrounded by fidgety tourists, I have rarely emphasised so much with a character.
Still in previews (which didn’t stop the…

Fun if fragmented production that immerses you in the seedy side of Victorian London

Flabbergast Theatre have transformed the COLAB theatre, a dimly-lit space along the dusty stretch between Borough and Elephant and Castle, into a sleazy Victorian saloon where gambling, bare-knuckle fighting and dubious employment rights reign supreme.…

Bed Peace: The Battle of Yohn & Joko | The Cockpit, NW8
Playful cultural references and pop lyrics collide with big themes in this lively re-telling of John and Yoko’s Bed-In
Jung Sun Den Hollander as Yoko Ono and Craig Edgley as John Lennon.
While we may think we’re unique in living through such turbulent times, 2019 does not have the monopoly on awfulness. In fact, compared to the last years of the Sixties, we’ve got it easy. In 1969 tensions ran…

An emotionally charged one-hander that follows one man’s bid to survive in the hardest of circumstances
Richard McElvain in the Chess Player, interpretation of the story is all the more disturbing in a world where the Far Right is once again raising its head.
Based on Jewish Austrian author Stefan Zweig’s novella, The Chess Playerfollows a prisoner in a Nazi jail struggling to stay sane while…

Entertaining and engaging, Sarah Kendall’s observation on bad luck/good luck is an amusing, poignant look at our lot in life
Sarah Kendall’s One-Seventeendeals with the theme of luck, based on a Chinese proverb about what constitutes good luck/bad luck, where one can be disguised as the other. Kendall explores how our lives can change in an instant, and how we may not even be aware of that…

An offbeat comedy two-hander that is wonderfully silly but lacks a little substance
Will Close and Rose Robinson in Great British Mysteries?
An amusing, slightly chaotic and quirky comedy, Great British Mysteries? sees Olive Bacon (Rose Robinson) and her untrusty sidekick Dr. Teddy Tyrell (Will Close) clumsily attempt to solve a series of the UK’s most compelling unsolved crimes and suspicious…

Theatre review: Glass Roots, Tristan Bates theatre

Glass Roots by Alexander Matthews.
Glass Roots is the second play by writer and philosopher Alexander Matthews to be staged as part of the playwright’s debut season at the Tristan Bates Theatre, a hidden gem of a studio in Covent Garden.
While Matthews’ previous play at the Tristan Bates, Screaming Secrets, explored ruptured…

Dance review: Macbeth, Wilton’s Music Hall
A haunting, gripping dance adaptation of Shakespeare’s sinister masterpiece
Jonathan Goddard and Eleanor Duval as the Macbeths.
Dancing to Shakespeare may sound a bit like dancing to architecture, to (badly) paraphrase a famous phrase, but in the hands of the fantastic Mark Bruce Company, one of the bard’s greatest – and bloodiest – plays becomes a piece of absorbing and captivating art in its…

Theatre review: Murder, She Didn’t Write, Leicester Square Theatre
A lively, witty improv show with a deathly turn of phrase
Improv can go one of two ways: it can be toe-curlingly awkward, or skilfully quick-witted and pacey.
Murder, She Didn’t Write, brought to us by Bristol-based improve specialists, Degrees of Error, rifts off Agatha Christie murder tropes, including clipped accents, a butler called Jeeves, dubious motives and dastardly morals.

Theatre review: Dead and Breathing, Albany Theatre
A darkly comic look at age, gender, race and class
Lizan Mitchell as Carolyn (foreground) and Kim Tatum as Veronika in Dead and Breathing.
Cranky old biddy (although, she’s actually only 68, surely a spring chicken in baby boomer-terms), Carolyn is a very rich woman with a very nasty streak.
Diagnosed with cancer years ago, she was meant to be dead within months, but she keeps on living to…

Jack Klaff as Alessandro, Ilaria Ambrogi as Gina and Jack Gordon as Antonio in Screaming Secrets.
Family dramas are the cornerstone of theatre. Nothing packs a dramatic punch like a group of mismatched relatives coming together for an occasion. You know it’s never going to end with fond farewells and promises to share the…

Ellie-Lou’s hunt for Joe draws her deep into a world of murder, sex trafficking, and dodgy beehive wigs.
