THEY’VE ALREADY WON
Melding multimedia with a traditional vaudeville performance, They’ve Already Won is a very modern production for the social media-savvy age. An oft criticism of theatre that it continues to rely on storytelling tropes and methods […]
THE GOOD DOCTOR
Neil Simon’s series of short plays – some macabre, some uproarious, and others filled with great slapstick – made for a very entertaining night of pathos-laden comedy. A writer relates his stories and wisdom to the […]
BULL
Brutal. Just, so, brutal. Awaiting a crucial staffing decision by senior management, team members Isobel (Romy Bartz) and Tony (Philippe Klaus) round squarely on less confident and clearly nerve-wracked Thomas (George Kemp) to ensure survival […]
DARK VANILLA JUNGLE
Intense, sparse and confronting, Dark Vanilla Jungle is in every sense a discomforting night of theatre. A monologue stretched over 90 minutes, Philip Ridley’s play as performed by Claudia Barrie covers any number of distressing […]
THE ALIENS
Offbeat in every sense of the word, The Aliens enjoyably draws its audience off-centre with the play’s unconventional style, at times both discomforting and refreshing. Filled with intermittently jarring moments and deliberately languid pacing, it […]

A trust exercise extrapolated into theatre, Re: Memory is a distinctive performance piece not meant for passive theatre-goers. Limited to ten per show, patrons are blindfolded and lead behind a curtain two at a time […]
TRYGVE WAKENSHAW: KRAKEN
Physical comedy at its finest – a glare, a contortion or sideways glance from this one-man show was enough to have the audience rolling around in laughter. The star barely spoke – instead getting the […]
LUMINOUS
Bodypainting, acrobatics, circus tricks, contortion and a little humour made for a very fun night. ‘Luminous’ relies on blacklight and takes place in total darkness. The characters develop as UV body paint is quickly applied […]
PROMISE AND PROMISCUITY: A NEW MUSICAL BY JANE AUSTEN AND PENNY ASHTON
A musical take-off of Victorian sensibilities and Jane Austen’s collective achievements, ‘Promise and Promiscuity’ will appeal to both fans of Bath’s most famous resident and almost anyone else who had to read her in high […]
SHOTSPEARE PRESENTS ROMEO & JULIET
It’s exactly what it sounds like. A comedy production of Romeo and Juliet, 5 actors, one random audience member adopted by the cast and a lot of alcohol. The play is condensed so the actors […]
