Pygmalion @ The Old Vic Review

The path towards achieving social mobility is an enduring one, one paved with ambition, ethic and resilience. The very notion of being able to move amongst the classes an aspirational feat ingrained within the British fabric. A phenomenon observed and tapped into well by George Bernard Shaw and his classic work Pygmalion – the production is a fascinating case study into the power of language, tone and confidence/demeanour.

The power of the alter ego allows for the individual putting on a persona to release their inhibitions and access an authentic part of themselves perhaps many others themselves identify or connect with.

Conscience @ The Cockpit (Camden Fringe 2023) Review

The very notion of discussing mental health in the 1960s would have been unthinkable, a reality of society often sidelined and viewed upon as a taboo subject. How internal emotional and psychological struggles manifest varies dependent on the individual, in certain cases, bringing about devastating consequences. Decades on and it’s starting to become socially acceptable to discuss mental health openly, but there’s a long way to go still. Following the mysterious death of a young woman in 1969, Two Thousand and One’s unsettling production Conscience observes the interrogation of a suspect – mental health an underlying factor throughout the narrative.

Beneatha’s Place @ Young Vic Review

This year marks a year shy of 7 decades post the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement, a movement tackling the inescapable racist climate of the day – and with it fighting for a better tomorrow. Post George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter Movement, we’re at a crucial moment in time where we question what gets taught within our institutions – for the greater good. Tracing Africa’s, America’s and the UK’s journey to build a hopeful world post racism and colonialism, Young Vic Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah presents Beneatha’s Place, a bridge between the old world and the new one that emerges.

Secret Thoughts @ Omnibus Theatre (AI Festival) Review

We’ve slowly made the transition into a more AI-centric world, a world where we etch out the rule book that ensures man and machine live side by side reciprocally, rather than find ourselves at constant loggerheads. It’s a normality now to see the things we think about emerge digitally in some sort of shape or form. We’ve seen engineers work to make technology sentient, conscious energies on a par with humans – but can this ever be possible? Questioning ‘consciousness’ and how this differentiates us from machines, Secret Thoughts welcomely enters us into what evidently is a transformational time.
