On the Road @ The Münchner Kammerspiele Review

Hungarian born director David Marton started out as a musician for stage directors like Frank Castorf and Christoph Marthaler before developing projects of his own. Moving freely between theatre and opera, Marton’s production His Fairy Queen, oder hätte ich Glenn Gould nicht kennen gelernt (The Fairy-Queen, or hadn’t I met Glenn Gould), after Henry Purcell, was invited to the Zurich Theater Spektakel festival in 2006 and the Impulse festival in 2007. In 2009, the theatre magazine Die Deutsche Bühne chose David Marton as Opera Director of the Year for his production Don Giovanni. Keine Pause (Don Giovanni. No Break). In 2015/16 David Marton founded the Opera House of the Kammerspiele and directed La Sonnambula and Figaros Hochzeit.

Rumpelstiltskin @ Northern Stage Theatre Review

The age-old tale of Rumpelstiltskin has been reinvented and presented beautifully by balletLORENT. The tale for this piece is retold by poet Carol Ann Duffy, it is told in a simplistic way to allow the dance to complete the tale and ensure the young audience know what is going on. You know a family show is getting it right when you don’t hear all the children around you fire constant questions at their parents about what’s happening.

All The Little Lights @ The Arcola Review

All The Little Lights is a robust, complex play that encourages the audience to read between the lines and engage with the nuances of its three characters, estranged best friends Joanne and Lisa, trapped in a circle of love-in-hate, and 12 year-old Amy. Jane Upton’s script avoids a patronising signposting of content, and, in so doing, best suggests the insidious nature of its subject matter in a world where signs are missed, bruises hidden, and voices silenced.

People, Places and Things @ Bristol Old Vic Theatre Review

This latest tour of Headlong’s sell-out west-end show from the National delivers a play in which form and content compliment each other with enigmatic dexterity; in which questions are posed by characters who themselves are somewhat questionable in both intent and integrity, and one is taken on a journey that the play itself keeps on telling you is pointless, but turns out to be anything but.

Nathan Caton @ Soho Theatre Review

Affable and measures Nathan Caton brings his steady set The Pursuit of Happiness to the intimate Soho Theatre Upstairs space. Running at just over an hour, Caton’s set glows with a humble warmth. He starts the show well with gentle, well received audience improv. Not one to push too far, Caton eases into his more risqué material with zeal. The audience are always on his side- and who couldn’t love a guy who, as he says, puts the ‘hug’ in ‘thug’?

The Tin Drum @ The West Yorkshire Playhouse Review

‘A story of love, war and fizz powder…’
Kneehigh have stormed straight back onto the stage with the outrageous, spectacular assault on the senses that is their adaptation of Gunter Grass’ The Tin Drum. Blinding lights, ear piercing noises and the ever present scent of matchsticks really keeps you in the present, in awe of the spectacle that this incredible cast has created.

Big Foot @ The Queen’s Hall Arts Centre, Hexham (Black Theatre Live Livestream) Review

Our teenage years are probably one of our most trying phases. On our paths to adulthood, there are expectations both on an educational and personal level that have to be met. From considering a chosen career path, to passing statutory exams, to navigating friendships, relationships and home life. These are the years where we really start to gauge who we are, our identities start to form. Joseph Barnes Phillips‘ Big Foot zones in on this particular phase, drawing focus on the concept of masculinity.
