Review: THE REAL ONES, Bush Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Sep 13, 2024
At once intimate and expansive, The Real Ones follows the friendship of Zaid and Neelam from age nineteen to thirty-six. Once kindred spirits, moving in sync, they fall out of step when the harsh reality of adult life sends them in different directions. Waleed Akhtar (Olivier winner for The P Word) pens a sharply observed look into whether platonic love can last.
Review: SOME DEMON, Arcola Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 20, 2024
Laura Waldren lifts the veil off an eating disorder unit. While the characters try hard to cope with an alienating structure that fails many of its patients, Waldren examines institutional callousness and human failure.

Review: SELF-RAISING, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - Feb 9, 2024
'Self-Raising begins with a sack of flour. But it’s not just a sack of flour.

Review: OCTOPOLIS, Hampstead Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Sep 26, 2023
Octopolis is an intimate two-hander that initially feels small-scale but reveals itself to be about vastly expansive ideas - essentially about the very concept of humanity. Marek Horn’s writing is probing and incisive, shifting from extended paragraphs of anthropological theory to funny innuendo and dramatic arguments.
