Review: THANKS FOR HAVING ME at Riverside Studios

Following in the well established tradition of television sitcoms like Men Behaving Badly, Just Good Friends and even The Likely Lads, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME is a four hander in which two young men get to cohabit, face their neuroses, and share relationship advice as they navigate the pleasures and pitfalls of taking casual dating to the next level.

Review: APEX PREDATOR at Hampstead Theatre

APEX PREDATOR delivers a modern twist on the vampire story, with sufficient nods to the past to keep it relevant to lovers of the genre. But does it induce toothy titillation or tedium?
