Review: DIXON AND DAUGHTERS at National Theatre Dorfman

The National Theatre’s Dorfman stage plays host to DIXON AND DAUGHTERS a new piece of writing by Deborah Bruce for Clean Break which although it was penned pre-lockdown in 2018, remains significant and relevant as a subtle commentary (written from the female perspective), on the pervading and insidious dominance of the patriarchy.

Review: ANIMAL at Park Theatre

ANIMAL currently enjoying a short run at Park Theatre, received considerable critical praise on its opening in Manchester earlier this year and it’s not difficult to understand why. The creative team behind the story of a young disabled gay guy who is dependent upon his three carers (Matt Ayleigh, Amy Loughton and Harry Singh) but is desperate for a sex life (preferably with some dating involved), have created a big hearted, funny and informed piece of theatre.

Review: THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES at Almeida

In the era when Americans began dipping tentative toes in the boiling cauldron of civil rights, President Lyndon Johnson announced the introduction of legislation to remove the last vestiges of segregation.
