I'm a big fan of the Above the Stag Theatre, the UK's only venue dedicated to in-house productions of plays and musicals aimed at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. It regularly premiers fascinating, provocative and skillful drama for this demographic from around the world, I've written and directed there myself, hope to again and you may recall my recent enthusiasm for their production that explored homophobia in Iran.

Review: GOBSMACKED! at The Udderbelly
By Jess Morrissey Tuesday, June 28 2016, 07:50
What do you get when you combine six insanely talented singers with a world class beatboxer? Gobsmacked! This show marks the future of a capella and opens it up to a whole new audience.
As people are taking their seats, Patrick Hirst, a.k.a. beatboxer Ball Zee, comes onto the stage under the hazy lighting. He emanates cool as he meanders around Phillip Gladwell’s impressive sound system set, which seems to come to life at times throughout the performance.

People who have never had the chance to visit Edinburgh in August often wonder what the Fringe Festival is really like.

Udderbelly’s London offering has expanded and now includes the London Wonderground: a circus tent come cabaret venue.

Review: THE DONKEY SHOW at Proud Camden
By Stacey Tyler Tuesday, June 21 2016, 08:47
As soon as you arrive at Proud Camden, it’s clear that you are not in for the average night at the theatre. The Donkey Show is a fabulous, exhilarating and flamboyant musical based on one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays: A Midsummer Nights Dream.
Far from the forest that usually occupies this story, we find ourselves throwninto a hedonistic night at Club Oberon where the events unfold over the course of an evening. From classics such as: Car Wash, I Will Survive and We are Family, this 70s disco is the hottest ticket in town.
