Review: CANDY at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, August 24 2023, 22:27
Park Theatre’s smaller space is all-a-shimmer for the foreseeable future as it hosts CANDY, a one-man debut play by Tim Fraser, produced and performed by Michael Waller. The shimmering comes from the shining copper strands which cling to the walls and surround the audience, creating a workingmen’s club ‘bingo night’ atmosphere.

Review: A MIRROR at Almeida
By Stuart King Thursday, August 24 2023, 00:00
The Almeida’s entrance is presently festooned with pink and white ribbons, the foyer adorned with an archway of balloons, whilst the auditorium itself proclaims a marriage ceremony about to get underway - complete with buffet table bearing Leyla and Joel and a wedding cake positioned to one side of the seating area reserved for family.

Review: DUMBLEDORE IS SO GAY at Southwark Playhouse
By Stuart King Saturday, August 19 2023, 16:09
The Fringe in London is the unsung hero and lifeblood of an industry that requires spaces in which our stars of the future get to cut their teeth and learn the ropes, art, and stagecraft of presenting live theatre. Southwark Playhouse has long served such a valuable function for both playwrights and the actors and musicians who bring their work to life.

Review: ENG-ER-LAND at Arcola Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, August 17 2023, 21:34
Some subjects make for unlikely theatre, not least when performed by a lone female on a relatively unencumbered stage. But in amongst the myriad missteps and misfires are occasional jewels and playwright Hannah Kumari’s ENG-ER-LAND is one of those multi-faceted and brilliant small-scale gems.

Review: THE GARDEN OF WORDS at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, August 17 2023, 11:12
The renowned North London venue offers theatregoers a unique opportunity to enjoy a beautiful amalgamation of Japanese movement, puppetry and projection through The Garden of Words. Adapted from Makoto Shinkai’s sensitive story and anime, the production explores the fragility borne of loneliness experienced in a metropolis and the bonds which can form when humanity connects under strained conditions.
