Review: EXHIBITIONISTS, King's Head Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Jan 9, 2024

Exhibitionists is, regrettably, not a good play. That’s not to say, however, that it isn’t occasionally a lot of fun. Teetering on the edge of pure camp and exaggerated satire, this bewildering new comedy puts a gay and non-monogamous spin on the classic farce, as fiery exes come face to face at an art gallery.

Review: ON THE ROPES, Park Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Jan 12, 2023

On the Ropes is a play about fighting - in more ways than one. In the first act, it’s about fighting in a very literal sense, tracking the boxing career of Vernon Vanriel. After the interval, however, Vanriel faces a new opponent: the Home Office’s new Windrush legislation. Combining a story that spans over fifty years with live singing and choreography, this is an expansive, ambitious production with a real life story at its core.
