Tate Modern’s Theatre Picasso explores the artist’s love of performance — from dancers to stage designs — but despite striking works like The Three Dancers and Weeping Woman, the exhibition feels more like a patchwork than a story. Picasso’s ego takes centre stage, and while there’s plenty to admire, it never quite stirs the heart the way the 2002 Matisse–Picasso show once did.

Strictly adults only! Garry Starr has balls! A surreal, silly, sensational evening at the Arts Theatre, London. Do not miss the mayhem!

"The Problem With The Seventh Year" is a bold, one-man show tracing a boxer’s journey through ambition, identity, and sacrifice. James McGregor delivers a magnetic performance, though the script’s emotional punch occasionally falters. Visually striking and thematically rich, it’s imperfect—but compelling.

This tart is one of those recipes that feels like a warm hug on a plate, perfect for these darker evenings and shorter days. Think Tarte Tatin, but savoury. It’s simple, seasonal, and full of flavour—perfect for a cosy lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends.

A play that contains both anguish and hope, a moving experience of dealing with grief and relationships after loss. 4 stars from us.

In need of Halloween chills - look no further than this production of The Monkey's Paw now on at the Hope Theatre in Islington

hree bands, three wildly different journeys: The Twilight Sad’s bruised poetry, Lakum’s folk magic (with a hurdy-gurdy and electric bagpipes, no less), and Mogwai’s earth-shaking wall of sound. South Facing was anything but ordinary.

We're excited for this weekends Musical Con at Excel - a must attend for all lovers of musicals

At the Golden Goose Theatre, YAWN: A Chronically Fatigued Play unfolds with warmth, wit, and honesty. Hollie Christian-Brookes captures the confusion and quiet courage of living with an invisible illness, while Christopher Irvine’s vivid performances bring the world around her to life. Balancing humour and heartbreak, it’s not everyone’s story — but it’s a story for everyone.

Catch the Choir of Man at the Arts Theatre, London before it starts it's nationwide tour in March 2026. This uplifting show has a serious message, but leaves you feeling good.

Tapping into the current rise in extreme right wing British nationalism and the flag waving this 2 actor play 'English Kings killing Foreigners' is timely and rightly challenging. 

Gerald Durrell as gothic horror? The Shadow in the Mirror at The Mill at Sonning is a chilling surprise – all shadowy corridors, secrets and suspense. With a superb cast, atmospheric design, and dinner included in the ticket, it’s a five-star autumn night out. The Mill’s riverside setting, complete with its working waterwheel, makes the whole experience feel like a special escape.

Really good Exposure Written and performed by Megan Prescott Important and Courageous, this needs everyone's attention now. Exceptional!

If you’ve ever found Shakespeare confusing, this whip-smart, laugh-out-loud adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is your gateway to the magic. Set in a giant playroom in the early 1900s, a group of kids stage a play full of fairies, love potions, and chaos — all for their elderly relative (and some iced buns 🍩). 🎭 Shakespearean English meets modern clarity as the kids break character to explain the plot, argue over fairies vs. fights, and even rope in the audience.

A heartfelt performance meets a cautious production. Lehla Eldridge shines as Justine—a woman torn between routine and rebellion—but the show’s over-reliance on narration and minimal staging holds it back. Urgent themes, gentle delivery. Worth seeing, but you might wish it took more risks

A one woman show seeking to uncover the truth about those great Shakespearean monologues.

In the shadowy basement of The Glitch, The Popess brings 13th-century Milan roaring into today. Elena Mazzon’s one-woman show is sharp, funny and surprisingly moving — with audience banter, awkward hymn-singing (not my forte), and questions that linger: what does faith bring you, and what would you die for?

We laughed, we danced, we did the Time Warp – and yes, we dressed up (though not quite as fabulously as the die-hard fans in corsets and glitter). Rocky Horror at Fairfield Halls is a riot of colour, camp and chaos, and Nathan Caton’s cheeky banter with the crowd, including insulting Croydon, made it feel like a party from start to finish.”

Soon to be on an International Tour we reviewed Éireann, the latest theatrical venture from the creators of international touring A Taste of Ireland,. Both the dancers and the musicians were stunningly good - not to be missed.
