Trump: The Musical, King’s Head Theatre, review
June 1, 2019
Satire remains dead in Trump: The Musical - a King's Head Theatre show that falls victim to the time in which we live. One of comedy's fundamental components is the element …
The Crumple Zone, King’s Head Theatre, review
December 2, 2018
Some strong performances and deliciously catty one-liners ensure The Crumple Zone is an enjoyable and inoffensive 75-minutes, but the flimsiness of the writing becomes a bit of a barrier to really …
Buttons: A Cinderella Story, King’s Head Theatre, review
November 29, 2018
Charles Court Opera’s alternative panto offering of 2018, Buttons: A Cinderella Story, is on the money - impressing with a talented ensemble, quality production values and enormously funny (if not-so-innocent) …
Beauty and the Beast: A Musical Parody, King’s Head Theatre, review
November 4, 2018
Laughs do come thick and fast in Fat Rascal's gender-swapped Beauty and the Beast parody - but it doesn't particularly play to individual cast members' strengths, nor seem quite as imaginative or …
La Traviata, King’s Head Theatre, review
October 7, 2018
The King's Head Theatre's powerful and engaging modern re-imagining of Verdi's La Traviata is performed with remarkable passion and discipline. I haven't seen many operas in my time, so admittedly don't have …
Hamilton (Lewis), King’s Head Theatre, review
September 7, 2018
The unfortunate reality of Hamilton (Lewis) is that you smile far more looking at the poster than you do sitting through the show. Both the writing and staging just lack …
GUY: A New Musical, King’s Head Theatre, review

A warm and precise supporting performance from Seann Miley-Moore isn't enough to save GUY: A New Musical from a slight, banal narrative and a string of stock characters. The amount of …
Riot Act, King’s Head Theatre, review
August 2, 2018
A heartfelt tribute to intergenerational gay activists, Riot Act's respectful and unfussy form acknowledges that the words and actions of its three interviewees are more than worthy of an ovation alone. …
A captivating central performance and intelligent lighting design elevates a slightly unremarkable text in Em-Lou Productions' James Dean is Dead! (Long Live James Dean): a fast-paced and skittish look into …
Exploring abuses, hypocrisies and consequences of power at the King's Head, Mart Crowley's For Reasons That Remain Unclear fails to grab and retain the audience's attention like any abuse story ought to. Published …
Voices From The Deep, King’s Head Theatre, review
May 13, 2018
Paperclip Theatre's Voices From The Deep is a night of four short plays in Shakespearean verse, putting female-centric stories centre stage. With excellent intentions and solid performances, the plays give …
NOFUCKSGIVEN, King’s Head Theatre, review
May 9, 2018
Daisy King's NOFUCKSGIVEN shines a pertinent, if slight, light on hidden homelessness, millennial solitude and how perception and reality often don't have much in common. More development could elevate the …
Baby Box, King’s Head Theatre, review
May 4, 2018
Laura McGrady's Baby Box starts an important, and long overdue, conversation surrounding endometriosis and the silence veiled around early female sexuality. Premiering at the King’s Head Theatre as part of a hugely welcomed …
The strong acting performances and compelling subject matter may be weakened by the disjointed pacing of the denouement, but We Need To Talk About Bobby (Off Eastenders) at the King’s Head …
