Under a railway arch, down a back alley way near Vauxhall station is Britain's only venue dedicated to theatre on gay, lesbian and transgendered themes. Largely ignored by the mainstream press and unfunded it none the less is a powerhouse of exciting theatre. Their current production HARAM IRAN is a blistering example of the venue at its best.

Review: THE SUICIDE at the National Theatre
By Preece Killick Friday, April 15 2016, 15:13
If you like your theatre robust, raucous and rollicking then the National Theatre’s adaptation of Nikolai Erdman’s classic comedy is a must see. And on the evidence of the audience’s reaction on Press Night, the party atmosphere was infectious.

Review: LES BLANCS at the National Theatre
By Phil Willmott Monday, April 11 2016, 09:46
The relatively new Artistic Director of the National Theatre, Rufus Norris, hasn't won many fans so far with his rather grim programming of the UK's centre of theatrical excellence. There's been very little glamour and frivolity. Even a musical of ALICE IN WONDERLAND turned out to be little appreciated but there has been some fantastic drama and this latest production is a shining example of the kind of intelligent, hard hitting theatre that couldn't exist in the commercial market and which, I for one, am delighted to see at the NT.
