In early 2026, Guildford Shakespeare Company staged a bold new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield at Holy Trinity Church in Guildford. The high-spirited production, performed by just three actors, ran from Friday 6th to Saturday 28th February before preparing to make its international debut in New York later this year as part of the Brits Off…
I was kindly invited by Chloe Nelkin Consulting to attend the workshop performance of a New queer musical Polly: A 21st Century Love Story at The Other Palace Studio and what a brilliant atmosphere to walk into. The studio was absolutely packed, which already felt like a promising sign. There’s something exciting about being in…
The Jury Experience: An Immersive Courtroom Case, currently staged at the Shaw Theatre near King’s Cross, offers a theatrical experience that goes far beyond passive watching. From the moment you enter the space, you’re treated not as an audience member, but as a juror with real responsibility. Being asked to stand and take an oath…
The Grim is one of those plays that feels like a welcome throwback fast-talking, witty, and proudly chaotic, the sort of old-style theatre you don’t often see anymore. Set in London in 1964, it follows Shaun (Edmund Morris) and Robert, two undertakers trying to get through another uneventful morning in the East End. That calm day…
West End powerhouse Danielle Steers has captivated audiences with her unforgettable performances as Catherine Parr in SIX the Musical and as the original Zahara in Bat Out of Hell The Musical. Now, she takes on an entirely new challenge as “Earth” in Hot Mess, a bold new pop musical that reimagines the climate crisis as a turbulent love story between Earth…
Rising playwright and actor Edmund Morris returns to the stage with his haunting and heartfelt new play The Grim, showing at the Southwark Playhouse from 26 November to 6 December. Following a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the play has been reworked and expanded for its London debut. We sat down with Morris to discuss the eerie world…
Every so often, a theatre year comes along that reminds me exactly why I fell in love with live performance in the first place. This has been one of those years. From intimate two-handers to jaw-dropping spectacle, I’ve laughed, held my breath, and been completely floored more times than I can count. Narrowing it down…
I was lucky enough to catch Castles at the Drayton Arms Theatre a tender and thought-provoking two-hander about love, vulnerability, and self-discovery. Written and co-starring Dan Blick, Castles explores personal growth through the lens of a romantic relationship. The play begins with Jonny and Rain meeting at a party, and from there, we follow their journey through the highs…
You walk into the Southwark Playhouse in Elephant and the set immediately catches your eye. It’s glamorous, glitzy, and dripping with Old Hollywood style which is exactly what you’d expect, since the play is set in the 1950s. The Code is a witty, funny, and dazzling production that strips away the shimmering surface of Tinseltown to…
I’m walking past the theatre district the other night, and I swear I thought I’d taken a wrong turn into an earlier age. Back to the Future in giant neon. Down the street The Lion King (again). Around the corner The Devil Wears Prada and right there in the middle? A whole pack of spotted dogs 101 Dalmatians and…
