SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
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.

Review of Justine Stops Oil
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

The Popess - forgotten history told at The Glitch
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?

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again – Rocky Horror Show at Fairfield Halls
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.”
