REVIEW: Monster

Reading Time: 3 minutesHard to watch at times, Monster touches upon the themes of guilt, growth, grief and redemption. This thought-provoking watch explores a horrific act of violence from both the perpetrators side and the victims and questions the human species capacity to forgive and change.

REVIEW: The Tempest

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Tempest is a play that can be taken either way, but Sean Holmes’s staging leans firmly in to the comedy—and it’s a hoot. Huge yellow crates, plentiful rubber ducks, and Ibiza-stag-do vibes abound in this colourful production which plays to the crowd with the joy and aptitude one expects from a Globe ensemble. The moments of playfulness, silliness, and superb ad-libbing are hilarious and feel as if they were discovered organically in what I can only assume was a delightful rehearsal process. 

REVIEW: Freud’s Last Session

Reading Time: 3 minutesFreud’s Last Session promises debates on love, sex, and religion, and it certainly delivers - with more besides. Mark St. Germain’s writing, complemented by Peter Darney’s direction, weaves smartly through each new subject so that you only realise you’re somewhere new once you’re already there.

REVIEW: Hungry @ Soho Theatre

Reading Time: 4 minutes‘Hungry’, is advertised as being a “blisteringly funny play about what we eat and who we love, exploring class, queerness, cultural appropriation and the cost of gentrification”, it is fair to say the topics of food and class were investigated at length.
