On paper The Fall sounds like worthy issue based theatre which you'd attend out of duty rather than look forward to.
Actually it turns out to be a funny, tuneful, inspiring, thought provoking and deeply satisfying 80 minutes of great theatre.

Review: B at the Royal Court
By Phil Willmott Wednesday, October 4 2017, 08:50
The world feels like a dangerous place at the moment. Getting caught in a terrorist attack on the way home from watching B at the Royal Court is a real if distant possibility.
In this new play by Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderon two young women distract an apparently nosey neighbour and attempt to buy a bomb from a male visitor whilst discussing the practicalities of carrying out an act of terrorism. It begins with spare dialogue in the style of playwright Harold Pinter then lurches via some creaky and obvious plot twists into speechifying.

Review: KANYE THE FIRST at HighTide Festival, Walthamstow
By Isabella James Tuesday, October 3 2017, 07:12
Sam Steiner’s latest play Kanye the First headlined the opening night of HighTide’s pop-up festival in Walthamstow, London. This surreal piece of theatre centres around Annie, a 27-year-old Londoner who works in marketing and struggles with her identity. We watch her take care of her incontinent mother, date boys that wish she was someone else and lie to Starbuck’s baristas about her own name. Then, after a brief mention that Kanye West has passed away, Annie wakes up in the body of Yeezy himself. His second coming.

Review: HEROINE at HighTide Festival, Walthamstow
By Isabella James Monday, October 2 2017, 12:42
HighTide’s pop-up festival has come to London for the first time, bringing with it a range of emerging playwrights. Heroine is a new piece by Nessah Muthy that brings us right into the heart of a South London community centre where a group of women gather together to eat cakes, play bingo and plan their peaceful protests. However, the arrival of EOD Bomb Disposal Engineer Grace who has been discharged from Afghanistan, changes the groups dynamic and their focus.
