Review: CRUISE at Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue
By Stuart King Wednesday, August 17 2022, 22:08
CRUISE is based on Jack Holden’s personal experiences volunteering in his youth at the London Gay Switchboard Helpline during the 1980s — and he deploys a particularly effective device to segue the audience into that hedonistic lost realm. One clumsily-handled call catapults us to Soho during its heyday and a time in which the AIDS crisis has only just begun to creep into the wider consciousness.

Review: ALL OF US at The Dorfman, National Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, August 5 2022, 09:36
There can be few taboo subjects which induce the level of instantaneously awkward and uncomfortable human interactions than confronting unexpected physical disability. In Ms Wobbly’s funny and moving play ALL OF US, the audience are let off lightly, for it is largely a joy and although painful in sections, ultimately enlightening and thought-provoking.

Review: TASTING NOTES at the Southwark Playhouse
By Stuart King Saturday, July 30 2022, 09:41
Tasting Notes which has just opened at Southwark Playhouse — and is billed as a new musical with legs (vinophiles will get the reference) — should perhaps more correctly be titled “Six Characters in Search of a Wine Bar” (or even, “Six Characters in Search of a Place to Drown their Sorrows”).
