Review: WHAT SHADOWS, Park Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, October 6 2017, 13:04
At a time when the subject of immigration has re-emerged as a political hot potato - as it was in the late 1960s - WHAT SHADOWS (currently playing at The Park Theatre), examines the life of Conservative minister Enoch Powell, whose contribution to the debate about Englishness and national identity through his Birmingham ("Rivers of Blood") anti-immigration speech, marked him out as both an influential orator and one of the most divisive politicians of the 20th century.

Review: RAMONA TELLS JIM, Bush Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, September 26 2017, 12:17
Ramona and Jim meet as teenagers in the Scottish Highlands. He's local, she's on a field trip from Englandshire. They are quirky, nerdy, articulate (in that weirdly teenage kinda way) and physically awkward (again, in that weirdly teenage kinda way)! Also, their hormones are clearly running riot, for it soon becomes apparent that they are immensely attracted to each other.

Review: THE LISTENING ROOM at Gerry's Studio, Stratford East
By Stuart King Tuesday, September 19 2017, 08:44
Victims and perpetrators of violent crime coming together in search of understanding and forgiveness from one another, sounds like a strange and jarring premise for a piece of theatre, but it works surprisingly well - largely due to the fact that the evening is based entirely on two real events. One involves an unprovoked attack at a train station and another where a random beating leads to a road traffic death.
