Review: THE CLINIC at the Almeida

The Clinic - Almeida Theatre. Photo by Marc Brenner Dipo Baruwa-Etti’s THE CLINIC has opened this week at the Almeida under the direction of Monique Touko.

Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE at the Adelphi Theatre

Back To The Future: The Musical will only appeal to fans of the original film….so that’s pretty much everybody.

Review: HELP! WE ARE STILL ALIVE at Seven Dials Playhouse

Elijah Ferreira and Jade Johnson play an ill-matched protagonist couple in a new post-apocalyptic musical HELP! WE ARE STILL ALIVE which opened at the intimate Seven Dials Playhouse this week. The creative enterprise largely concocted by Imogen Palmer and Tim Gilvin, sees Finn and Jass forced to stick with one another when after emerging from 2 days spent hiding from drone sounds in a mortuary freezer compartment, they discover everyone else has disappeared.

Review: RIDE at Charing Cross Theatre
