Alice in Wonderland @ Brixton House Review

A beloved tale as quirky in narrative as it is in character, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland asks for the reader to let go of current stresses and immerse oneself in the fantastical. The author’s invention of words, must notably the nonsensical nature of the poem Jabberwocky, an invitation to marvel in the joy of language. Offering a 21st century, metropolitan take on the classic, Jack Bradfield and Poltergeist Theatre present Alice in Wonderland, the perfect festive end to the year, suitable for families and fans of the take a like.

A Cocoa Butter Club Christmas Show @ Shoreditch Town Hall Review

Committed to staging cabaret nights featuring queer POC artists, Cocoa Butter Club continue on with their mission with their latest edition, A Cocoa Butter Club Christmas Show – an evening packed full of variety, opening up a world of cabaret to those returning to it, as well as those new to the form.

The Kola Nut Does Not Speak English @ Bush Theatre Review

Folklore ties us back to our ancestral roots, narratives that effortlessly incorporate the lands they were birthed in and carry with them profound messages. The tale of Eze and the Kola Nut Tree within the Igbo (eebo) language native to Nigeria, West Africa one that ties those of the Nigerian diaspora, in particular Igbo to their horticultural roots. Initially debuting at the 2020 VAULT Festival, Tania Nwachukwu‘s The Kola Nut Does Not Speak English embraces what it means to be connected to one’s familial home yet embrace their UK heritage.

Baghdaddy @ Royal Court Theatre Review

Milli Bhatia directs yet another outstanding play at the Royal Court by Jasmine Naziha Jones, a playwright that stared shame back in the face with smoke, cheap thrills, bells and whistles and ran with it. What we all really want to see is someone else face what we couldn’t, a storyteller that spits her truth out and an added bonus is doing it with style. A stunning production with pace and gut-wrenching symbolism that has made its mark on contemporary theatre. Extraordinary acting too from our playwright-cum-actor who amazingly plays a child better than she plays an adult. It’s the best exploration of intergenerational trauma I’ve seen on stage and to think this is only the start with this being Jones’s debut play. We love to see it.

Tunnels @ Park Theatre Review

The concept of freedom is a deep one, one that immediately evokes an emotional response no matter who you talk to. The tale of the ‘escape story’ one that throughout the generations has disclosed the soul destroying impacts of imprisonment against one’s own will, placing personal freedom at the fore. An exploration of the threat of personal freedom, Oliver Yellop’s production Tunnels ties the world of post WWII Germany to our present.

In an era where our steps can be counted, water consumption measured, our dating lives determined by a series of algorithms, possibilities made endless thanks to the vast number of apps made accessible at the click of a button, we’ve started to settle into our digitised revolution that is the early part of the 21st century. Our smartphones our very own personal assistants that we can sometimes feel at a loss if we don’t have them with us.

My Neighbour Totoro @ Barbican Review

Whether you’re familiar with Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro or not, the eponymous anime aesthetic is something I’m sure many of us are familiar with – a mercurial, comforting , friendly, creature who happens to appear at just the right moments. Originally an animation released in April 1988, the Japanese cultural phenomenon has enjoyed success internationally having also received various accolades along the way. 34 years on, and the cult classic has been reimagined for the stage, receiving its premiere at the Barbican and realised by Tom Morton-Smith and director Phelim McDermott.
