Photos: HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS At Arcola Theatre

Production photos been released for Recent Cutbacks’ Hold On To Your Butts, a live shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time performed by just two actors and a live Foley artist, at the Arcola Theatre this Christmas for a limited run until Saturday 11 January 2025 prior to a UK Tour.
Review: HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS, Arcola Theatre

Created by Recent Cutbacks, Hold On To Your Butts is a “shot for shot” parody of the iconic Jurassic Park film, with three actors taking on the movie in only seventy minutes (the original film has a runtime of two hours and seven minutes). Jack Baldwin and Laurence Pears take on nearly all of the characters (yes, even Mr. D.N.A makes an appearance!) through simple costume and prop changes.

Review: MADDIE MOATE'S A VERY CURIOUS CHRISTMAS, Apollo Theatre

Review: TATTOOER, Charing Cross Theatre

Incomprehensible drama fails to breach the cultural gap between Japan and England.

Review: BECOMING NANCY, Birmingham Rep

Cheese and pineapple on a stick, anyone? The latest musical from Birmingham Rep takes us back to 1970s Britain, where trousers were flared, birthday parties required Iced Gems, and boys definitely didn't play girls in school musicals without everyone having something to say about it. BWW's critic weighs in.

Review: ONE SMALL STEP, Charing Cross Theatre

Bold Anglo-Japanese production fizzles out when it needs to take off like a rocket writes BWW's critic.
Review: PINS AND NEEDLES, Kiln Theatre

New play packs plenty of ethical questions into an engaging and fascinating production that offers much to think about on the way home

Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY, Stratford East

The Seventies were a time for cheesy pineapple, bellbottom jeans, Elton John, and ABBA. Written in 1977, Mike Leigh’s darkly comic picture of the English middle class turns out to be an evergreen classic. Revived some ten miles from the story’s real-life setting, this is Nadia Fall’s last show as Artistic Director of the venue and features known ‘EastEnder’ Tamzin Outhwaite as Beverly Moss.
Interview: Actor Richard Cant on Collaboration and Research in PINS AND NEEDLES at Kiln Theatre

Review: COME DINE WITH ME THE MUSICAL, Turbine Theatre

There’s potential for Come Dine With Me: The Musical to become a Michelin-starred delight, and its Edinburgh Fringe production has the foundations for it. The cast are all great, the writing has its laughs and the songs are catchy. It just needs more time to simmer and extra spice to give it that extra kick.
