Review: STALLED at King's Head Theatre

As a theatre reviewer, I frequently encounter commendable projects. Projects where the individuals involved are invested, engaged and obviously talented. But sometimes, even with such credentials the end result doesn’t quite pay off. It pains me to report that such an instance is STALLED, which recently opened at Angel Islington’s indomitable institution The King’s Head Theatre, where new seating was especially in-stalled for the occasion.

Review: UNICORN at Garrick Theatre

This week, producer extraordinaire Nica Burns welcomed Mike Bartlett’s new play UNICORN to the Garrick Theatre — a feat achieved despite seemingly impossible timelines. Helmed by director James Macdonald, the pre-show information includes the following enticement: “Contains explicit content and scenes of a sexual nature, which some audience members may find intriguing…”! You’ve gotta love whoever came up with that.
