REVIEW: Good For Her!

Reading Time: 2 minutesDirected by Kayla Stokes, this production pairs gut-punch honesty with surreal edge, bringing a raw, intimate story to life. Kayla’s credits include Ars Nova ANT Fest, NYTW, and Battersea Arts Centre. Good for Her! marks their first collaboration, bringing together their shared interest in female led, emotionally charged storytelling.

FEATURE: The Flip Side

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Flip Side is a collection of stories about the lives of young adults in London. This is the stage of life where we learn to ‘adult’ for the first time - hoping for success at school and work, earning our own money and attempting to save up for the fun things, spending time with our friends, and falling in love.

REVIEW: Ivories

Reading Time: 2 minutesIvories is a play with visible potential - the set design is beautiful, the lighting is suspenseful, and the four actors (two in leading roles, two in supporting roles) are expressive and eager to engage with the material. However, the production had multiple weak moments.

REVIEW: Natural Behaviour

Reading Time: 2 minutesBefore I watched Natural Behaviour, I had read nothing about it and assumed it would be a comedy of sorts. A satire about misfits attempting to find their place in this strange, pretentious world.

REVIEW: Love You More

Reading Time: 2 minutesLove You More is a celebration of childhood - in particular, teenage fandom and the relationship between a mother and daughter. Written by, produced by, and starring Sarah O’Dell, based on the love she shared with her mother, the play is filled with goofy comedy and bittersweet nostalgia.
