Nina Raina’s new play CONSENT is a strong addition to the recent outbreak of feminist work that does not compromise when it comes to talking about difficult subjects such as rape, sexual consent and male abuse of power. Directed by Roger Michell, CONSENT is a powerful piece of contemporary theatre that not only explores these harrowing themes but also examines the flaws of the legal justice system and delves into the politics of sexual relationships.

Review: 42nd STREET at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane
By Stacey Tyler Thursday, April 6 2017, 14:20
42nd Street was last seen at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane on London’s West End in 1984. Now playing at the same theatre as it did then, it is undeniably back where it belongs. Keeping its loyalty to the story yet putting a new and exciting spin on the show itself, this is the perfect revival of such an amazing old fashioned musical. The score is wonderful, and vividly brought to life by Jae Alexander and his 18 strong orchestra. With songs such as 'We're in the Money', 'Lullaby of Broadway' and the title number '42nd Street' this is one musical that will have you tapping your feet all the way home!

Posh was a breakthrough hit for playwright Laura Wade in 2010 when a general election put the spotlight on to the Bullington Club, an organisation for privileged Oxford students which counted the prime minister of the time, David Cameron and the anticipated next Prime minister, Boris Johnson as former members.

Review: HONK at the Union Theatre
By Phil Willmott Monday, April 3 2017, 13:55
A delightful family show, Honk, has just opened at the Union Theatre, where I often direct.
It’s 20 years since this early musical by George Styles and Anthony Drewe was the unexpected choice for a major production at the National Theatre and an even more unexpected choice to win the Olivier award for best musical, defeating the newly opened Lion King and Mamma Mia. All this was unexpected not because it isn’t a very good show, it is, but because on the surface it’s such a sweet unassuming little piece; however beneath the slight story of a lost ugly duckling who discovers he’s a swan is a powerful anti-bullying message.
