Review: HEISENBERG at Arcola Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, April 16 2025, 08:35
When at a train station, a young woman kisses a much older woman on the back of the neck, the act becomes a catalyst for the development of a quirky friendship. Just how random is the circumstance of that first kiss, presents an altogether more interesting matter for speculation and conjecture.

Review: SHANGHAI DOLLS at Kiln Theatre
By Stuart King Sunday, April 13 2025, 12:19

Review: MANHUNT at Royal Court
By Stuart King Wednesday, April 9 2025, 08:55
In the summer of 2010, UK tabloids proclaimed horrific headlines when a dangerous criminal who’d been released from Durham prison, went to ground after spending three days wreaking havoc across Tyne and Wear and Northumberland. The manhunt which followed and the final police stand-off a week later, spawned frenzied speculation across the nation.
