Review: HOW NOT TO DROWN at Theatre Royal Stratford East
By Stuart King Wednesday, February 1 2023, 10:35
With just five performers — including Dritan Kastrati, on whose real life experiences HOW NOT TO DROWN is based — Stratford East continues its association with hard-hitting drama which gives voice to the under-represented, victimised and dispossessed.

Review: THE ELEPHANT SONG at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, January 24 2023, 09:23
Psychiatric wards have provided a rich source of material for writers and dramatists over the decades, but in a world where our mental health and well-being are discussed and evaluated more openly than at any time in human history, does Nicholas Billon’s psychological drama THE ELEPHANT SONG have anything interesting to say to a modern audience?

Review: THE UNFRIEND at Criterion Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, January 19 2023, 23:00
Holiday friendships (especially those made on a cruise ship) aren’t meant to go beyond the holiday, right? Everybody knows that. It’s one of those dependable unwritten rules! Unless that is, you are Elsa Jean Krakowski, a brash American widow and Trump-devotee from Denver, with something of a disturbing history, who has just emailed to advise she’s standing outside your front door.

Review: ALLEGIANCE at Charing Cross Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, January 18 2023, 13:12
Based on the real life recollections of George Takei (known to millions as Mr Sulu in Star Trek), writers Lorenzo Thione and Jay Kuo have created ALLEGIANCE based on a book by Marc Acito.
The familial divisions which resulted from this rarely explored aspect of the Second World War, are illuminated and dissected in musical form - with heart-rending results.
