Review: KENREX at Southwark Playhouse

Until the 15th March (although a West End transfer must surely be on the cards after this evening’s rapturous opening), London theatregoers get a chance to witness for themselves the hard hitting and mesmerising true crime drama KENREX, in which the townsfolk of a small backwater, rise up and take back control after suffering a decade of tyranny at the hands of one man.

Review: EAST IS SOUTH at Hampstead Theatre

What happens when the boffins of Artificial Intelligence, including a Russian emigré who now works for the NSA, decide to test their code writing abilities against the age old question around God and man? The answer as always, depends on how the question is asked and how receptive humankind is to an answer it may not be ready to hear.
