Review: IMPOSTER 22, Royal Court
Produced by Access All Areas, a theatre company led by disabled and autistic performers, Imposter 22 thrusts questions about disability centre stage. It’s exuberant, bombastic, and undeniably well-intentioned, but good intentions are not enough to make good theatre.

BWW Review: RARE EARTH METTLE, Royal Court Theatre
Rare Earth Mettle doesn’t need any more publicity. Headlines started talking about Al Smith’s play before its previews were cold in the grave, and reviews have flocked in agreement of its generally disappointing outcome. An exploding controversy, a hasty statement from the top floors of the Royal Court, and even quicker name-change later, the production remains a cutting critique that unfortunately loses itself in its search for style and forceful sarcasm.

BWW Review: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT ASSEMBLY, Royal Court
Let's face it, we never turn into the person our parents hope we'll be. Most of the time, our maternal up-bringers learn to adjust to this fact, and accept their offspring for who they are. Granted, it's harder to do this when the son you've raised ends up using drugs, blowing money left right and centre and burgling the family's possessions.
