REVIEW: ‘Safe Haven’ at Arcola Theatre offers a diplomat’s-eye view of the 1991 Kurdish crisis. A fascinating insight into Whitehall power moves, though the script plays it a bit too safe. #LondonTheatre #Review readaboutstuff.com/2026/01/20/rev…
Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful Little Fool' trades swing for a rock score to explore the toxic, frantic marriage of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Southwark Playhouse #LondonTheatre #Review #Musical readaboutstuff.com/2026/01/23/rev…
Jack Holden is breathtaking in closing-soon #Kenrex The Other Palace. A visceral, blood-pumping true crime masterclass that deconstructs the brutal reign of Ken Rex McElroy. The standard for solo theatre has been raised. Please don't be gone for long! readaboutstuff.com/2026/01/26/rev…
REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keala Settle takes on a demanding dramatic role in Mrs President (MrsPresidentPlay) at Charing Cross Theatre. An ambitious but uneven look at Mary Todd Lincoln’s legacy. Read the review here. readaboutstuff.com/2026/01/28/rev…
REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 400 years. Three generations. One box of tapes. Ballad Lines: A New Folk Musical Southwark Playhouse is an ambitious, slick folk-musical that keeps the traditional ballads alive for generations to come. #LondonTheatre #Review #BalladLines #Musical readaboutstuff.com/2026/01/30/rev…
REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bag of Beard brings the 1970s 'The Highgate Vampire' hysteria to The Cockpit in a punchy, meta-theatrical dark comedy. Heart, slapstick, and a bizarrely true story from the streets of North London. #LondonTheatre #Review readaboutstuff.com/2026/01/31/rev…
REVIEW: Arcadia The Old Vic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tom Stoppard’s #Arcadia returns to The Old Vic in a sharp, intellectual revival from Carrie Cracknell. A collision of 19th-century desire and modern academic scheming. readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/05/rev…
Left it late to see this, but so glad I did get there in the end. It's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Indian Ink Hampstead Theatre. Felicity Kendal is magnificent, and Ruby Ashbourne Serkis is a revelation. readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/08/rev…
REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One trumpet. A century of genius. Benjamin Akintuyosi gives a career-defining performance in #Miles Southwark Playhouse. A stylish, 4-star exploration of Miles Davis that hits the high notes, even when the man behind the music is at his lowest. readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/10/rev…
REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. What a show Theatre Royal Haymarket. Simply put, it is a 5-star triumph. Mark Addy and Jenna Russell are devastatingly good in this musical masterpiece. A life-affirming must-see. #LondonTheatre #Review readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/10/rev…
REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 117amtheplay Finborough Theatre is a "captivating two-hander." Catherine Ashdown and Eileen Duffy are superb in this ambitious look at what remains when the unthinkable happens. Kevin Wilson 💙 For Adventures in Theatreland (PR/Gifted). readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/13/rev…
At press night for AFTER MISS JULIE Park Theatre tonight. Review to come for The Reviews Hub
REVIEW: #AFTERMISSJULIE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Churchill is out. Attlee is in. But in the kitchen of a country estate, a much darker revolution is brewing. Park Theatre is a masterclass in class warfare and coercion in Marber’s gritty reimagining of Strindberg. readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/17/rev…
REVIEW #DeepAzure Shakespeare’s Globe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A bold, 4-star revival of Chadwick Boseman’s early work. Selina Jones gives a "devastating" performance in this lyrical exploration of grief and police brutality. #LondonTheatre #Review readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/18/rev…
The terrific DEEP AZURE is a brilliant legacy for #ChadwickBoseman. Currently playing at Shakespeare’s Globe. Review: readaboutstuff.com/2026/02/18/rev…
