2 Become 1 – Swipe Right Theatre

As a male in his early 20’s I couldn’t believe my luck when I came across Swipe Right Theatre’s pop jukebox musical ‘2 Become 1’ at the Fringe. Having spent many an hour being sold shows that create a “dark, playful yet genuine vibe around the idea of mental health issues within a corrupt government…

Making Mischief – The Other Place

Runs until 27th August The RSC’s The Other Place, the Shakespeare Theatre’s equivalent of a hyperactive younger sibling, has reopened its doors to new and innovative performances. In a festival that calls on its plays to champion the inventive, and speak the unspeakable, The Other Place has welcomed a bevy of talent and provocateurs. The RSC seem…

Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. – Making Mischief

Runs until 13th August Revolt was a jumble of creative production which ranged from incredibly beautiful scenes, with detailed and elegant style, to a mess of overlapping and bewildering dialogue.

Fall of the Kingdom, Rise of the Foot Soldier – Making Mischief

Runs until 27th August Fall of the Kingdom, Rise of the Foot Soldier, is a genuinely angry, eloquent, and important play, unfortunately hampered by the intensely pretentious production that housed this newly written piece by Somalia Seaton. The story of the hour details how Aisha (Donna Banya), a black schoolgirl, returns to college having been…

Always Orange – Making Mischief

Runs until 27th August For a play that was written to discuss ‘what is unsayable in the 21st century,’ Fraser Grace’s Always Orange was a frustratingly underwhelming hour from which we came away with little to say. The production was masterclass in mediocrity, but that’s not to suggest there weren’t moments of incredibly poignant prose,…

An Interview: Fraser Grace

Ahead of our trip to Stratford-upon-Avon for the RSC’s Making Mischief festival, Fraser Grace was kind enough to talk to us about his new play Always Orange, which was commissioned for the festival. Your play Always Orange started two days ago as part of the new Making Mischief Festival at the RSC – how’s the opening…

The Plough and The Stars – National Theatre

This year marks the centenary of the Easter Rising, and it would seem only fitting for The Plough and The Stars to arrive at the National at the time it has.

Macbeth – Shakespeare’s Globe

Last night we strolled down the South Bank as the clocks came close to striking twelve to enjoy the Globe’s Midnight Matinee of Macbeth. Unfortunately this was not to be – although that’s not to say we didn’t endure the performance.
