Review: ALADDIN at Lyric Hammersmith

Aladdin - Lyric Hammersmith Each year the late November brings us one of the best artistic festive inventions ever; the panto. The production of ALADDIN is this year’s offering from The Lyric Hammersmith. Directed by Ellen McDougall and written by Joel Horwood the show takes us on a journey full of laughter, high energy and some political references. Despite the presence of the magic flying carpet, at times ALADDIN lacks the necessary sparkle that makes for a great panto; this production still offers plenty of fun for both the old and the young.

Review: THE SEWING GROUP at the Royal Court

The Sewing Group Gripping for its entirety, lingering in your thoughts for days after and doing a fine job of lulling the audience into thinking it is something that a plot twist brilliantly reveals it is not. Great show.

There’s a cracking twist in the Royal Court’s SEWING GROUP by E.V. Crow and it's important to not go anywhere near revealing it, but what can be said is that Crow shines an uncomfortably bright light upon the impact the digital age has had upon the development of humans.
