Stereophonic is an experiential trip into the creative process behind hit music, and it feels impressively authentic - sometimes to a fault. My review for @TheStage thestage.co.uk/long-reviews/…
This is a Very Important Question. One that recurs every year. Here goes: can I stop wearing tights yet? Is it time? Is it too soon? Will I have goosebumps? The struggle is real
Very meta Chekhov, with some excellent acting plus Cate Blanchett tap dancing and doing the splits. My review of The Seagull for @TheStage thestage.co.uk/reviews/the-s…
Tamsin Greig and Celia Imrie are heartstoppingly good in Anna Mackmin’s new play Backstroke @DonmarWarehouse @TheStage review thestage.co.uk/reviews/backs…

My review of Kandinsky’s creepy existential sci-fi thriller More Life @royalcourt , featuring possibly the most me opening sentence I’ve ever written @TheStage thestage.co.uk/reviews/more-…
