Review: JUNIPER BLOOD at Donmar Warehouse

By Stuart King Thursday, August 28 2025, 10:44

The pastoral idyll of a green and pleasant land is the joint aim of Lip (Sam Troughton) and Ruth (Hattie Morahan) in Mike Bartlett’s back-to-nature farmstead drama, JUNIPER BLOOD. But is rewinding the planet’s eco-clock a theoretical pipe dream? When in reality, seven billion human inhabitants are used to instant communications, modern healthcare, and have grown dependant upon a plentiful and varied food supply chain, just how fragile will the couple’s unified approach become, when pregnancy is thrown into the mix?

The news of a West End debut comes after its hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer and a UK tour. First established in 2018 and spearheaded by Mitch Donaldson, Shoddy Theatre's Shoddy Detective is a fast-paced, slapstick whodunit.
