Review: FLAMINGO, The Hope Theatre
“Oh, that I were a man!” In the opening scene, one might worry that they have accidentally stumbled into a one-woman production of Much Ado About Nothing, as the woman on stage gives a passionate rendition of one of Beatrice’s iconic monologues. However, this quickly changes when another woman accidentally crashes the audition, leading to a fateful meeting that will change the paths of these two women forever.

BWW Review: CLUEDO, Richmond Theatre
Was it Professor Plum in the library with the dagger? To many of us, the board game Cluedo is a family staple, but director Mark Bell’s play takes more of its influence from the 1985 American film Clue. The play retains the characters, weapons and location of a spooky manor house and turn it into a pacey farce that both amuses and frustrates.

BWW Review: WAITING FOR WAITING FOR GODOT, St James Theatre, 1 September 2016
The show must go on. And on. Even for the understudies trapped in theatrical purgatory, forever waiting for their chance to perform. So far so Beckett? That's the premise of American playwright Dave Hanson's affectionate absurdist parody, offering a lighter take on the master's existential philosophising.
