Review: BREEDING, King's Head Theatre
'Why do you want to be a parent?' This expansive, almost unanswerable question is one of many asked to gay couple Zeb and Eoin when they decide they want to adopt. In Breeding, writer Barry McStay unpacks the ‘new normal’ of queer parenthood in a crowd-pleasing narrative that doesn’t shy away from the darker moments.

Review: THE SUSPICIONS OF MR WHICHER, The Watermill Theatre
The ever enchanting Watermill Theatre in Newbury could hardly have hoped for more atmospheric weather to mark the opening night of their latest show, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher. The distant thunderclaps and bucketing rain seemed perfectly placed to instill a disquieting mood as the audience arrived for an evening of Victorian true crime.

Review: THE TINKER, VAULT Festival
Nothing’s what it seems in Olivia Foan’s new play, but a sluggish build-up and even weaker ending don’t make The Tinker as exciting as it could be.
