Review: THE GIFT at Park Theatre

Park Theatre presents the world premier of Dave Florez’ comedy drama THE GIFT, in which obsessive Colin is destined to fixate and generally unravel as a consequence of receiving a mysterious box through the mail… Or at least that is what his concerned sister Lisa and her partner Brian are convinced will happen, and they speak from considerable experience of Colin’s neurotic foibles.

Review: THE BOWIE SHOW at Hippodrome Golders Green

In January 2016, we lost an icon, a creative visionary, a trailblazer. For many (myself included) David Bowie was an extraordinary human being, if not a Demi-God. In the years which have passed since the release of Blackstar prior to his death, it has been easy to conclude that the world has become somehow tarnished, diminished by his sad demise aged 69 and the sequence of tumultuous global events which have occupied the timeline since.

Review: AN INTERROGATION at Hampstead Theatre

A young woman has been found strangled in her own home. When a second young woman goes missing in the vicinity, time is of the essence. John Culin (Colm Gormley) the ranking officer on the investigation, puts his star interviewer into the frame. But as the clock ticks, will his baited hook catch the killer, or are they wasting time on the wrong suspect?

Review: UNDER THE TABLE at Barons Court Theatre

Travelling from East to West London (and back again) on a cold, dark, winters evening, to view a small scale fringe production at an altogether unassuming little venue beneath a pub, is not exactly a labour of love, but it comes with the territory for a theatre reviewer. Tuesday was such an evening.

Review: A GOOD HOUSE at Royal Court

The Royal Court plays host to Amy Jephta’s South African racial proximity drama, which wastes little time in scratching away the superficial veneer of integration within a suburban enclave. We land at a cul-de-sac located within a sought-after gated development named Stillwater. Even the name promises stagnation and a churning unrest in the lower depths.
