Chemistry @ The Lantern Theatre ( Brighton Fringe Festival 2023) Review

Psychologist Harry Harlow (1905-1981) in the late 50s went onto make a landmark discovery within the field of psychology – concluding that ‘comfort’ was an integral force in the formation of attachment within mothers and their children, as opposed to food which would have been the general consensus beforehand. With human connection a vital component helping us to foster relationships and process the world around us, to possibly lose this will be a devastating prospect. Tapping into this fastly emerging world of robots, AI and isolation, Polymorth Theatre and Different Theatre present Chemistry, an urgent look at our current climate, one where we see ourselves on the cusp of a digitally overrun world.

60 Minutes of Mood Swings @ The Rotunda Theatre (Brighton Fringe Festival 2023) Review

Cues both overt and covert dictate how women should behave, perceptions of the ‘model woman’ deeply rooted in a patriarchal gaze and drummed into our consciousness throughout our lifetime. In a time where we’re breaking down issues of gender, sexuality and mental health amongst other human qualities, we’re asked to question the systems and structures that once were and navigate a new, fairer world. An exploration of femininity and what this means to the OnTheNose cast, 60 Minutes of Mood Swings unashamedly shatter the patriarchal lense in which we’ve observed the world for millennia and usher in something excitingly new

Located on an unforgiving patriarchal-centric boot camp, OnTheNose await the harsh instructions of an overseeing eye. The bootcamp’s aim to transform these five – already powerful in their own right – women into the so called societal ideal. Taking on the ‘ugly duckling trope’ we often see play out in various arenas, where we’re invited to watch an individual’s process of transformation into a ‘better’ version of themselves, the show lightheartedly pokes fun at this, and with it cleverly starts to pick at the hidden truths as to why the quintet hold the insecurities that they do.

Invisible @ Bush Theatre Review

Although an exciting, otherworldly industry to be a part of – one responsible for igniting the imaginations of many, the world of acting can often be a precarious one, one where you’re left eagerly awaiting opportunities that could lead to that career defining role or two. Juggling a 9 to 5 with castings a reality for many passionate about performance, hopeful that their dreams will become realities. Returning to the Bush Theatre after a critically acclaimed run in 2021, writer and performer Nikhil Parmar presents Invisible – a one man show looking at the moments behind the scenes, in between the acting roles, laying bare the emotional turmoil that lies behind what we see on our screens and stages.
