Review: A STRANGE LOOP, Barbican Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Friday, June 30 2023, 16:05
A Strange Loop by Michael R. Jackson arrives at the Barbican this Summer after winning both a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize in New York. Meta and messy, it’s the story of a fat, queer Black man wrestling with identity and intrusive thoughts.

Review: THE CRUCIBLE, Gielgud Theatre

Review: SIX at Vaudeville Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Friday, January 13 2023, 12:39
Do you enjoy the following: puns, parodies, pop music, noise, neon, shiny stuff, shrieking audiences. If you answered no, then SIX isn't for you.
If you answered yes, then you're probably already familiar with the show, which went from Edinburgh Fringe to the Tony Awards in only five years.
