Review: TITUS ANDRONICUS, Shakespeare's Globe
by Franco Milazzo - Feb 2, 2023
Jude Christian's visually stunning take on this goriest of stories from Shakespeare is bound to raise more than a few eyebrows. In a gender reversal of what likely took place on its first outing, this production has an all-female cast committing the heinous murders. The many, many deaths are portrayed by candles being snuffed out. This may be set in ancient Rome, but the dress code here is pyjamas and, in place of lyres and pan pipes, the music here consists mainly of darkly comic songs. A classic interpretation? Hardly

BWW Review: THE MINISTRY OF LESBIAN AFFAIRS, Soho Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - May 16, 2022
Playwright Iman Qureshi said she wanted to make the show “a lesbian mecca”, and she has done exactly that. As her play The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs unfolds, the theatre echoes with raucous laughter, murmurs of agreement, and gasps of outrage. The show is a true celebration of lesbian identity - immensely necessary but also, immensely fun.
