THE OTHER PLACE National Theatre @liquidmarmalade said I would see it coming and I would gasp. I did see it coming and I did gasp. An extraordinary play by alexander zeldin with astonishing perfs from Tobias Menzies and Emma D’Arcy. This is how I want to write when I grow up.


FEAR OF 13 Donmar Warehouse Can’t pass up a chance of seeing the towering Adrien Brody do his thing, now can you!?







LEGENDS OF THEM Royal Court Some shows are just unforgettable and this is one of them. Sutara Gayle knocks it out the park in this bold, raw, funny, often brutal, always warm, mixed media, musical autobiographical piece. Sounds a lot? Because it is. It is EXTRA and glorious. Go.



CHRISTMAS CAROL The Old Vic Jack Thorne So, NOT ME blubbing like a baby at this gorgeous sucker-punch of a play. I only went to study the stage craft but the first whiff of a satsuma and I was gone! Hopefully the new AD will keep the tradition going … please can they?!



BELLY OF THE BEAST by Saana Sze Finborough Theatre Writing so fizzy it could be Coca Cola in this stunning debut play that asks: what are schools for? Shiloh Coke and Sam Bampoe-Parry give passionate, touching, roller coaster performances as student and teacher both struggling to answer.








So much to learn from these. Thank you Chris Lang
