 | Halbwelt KulturThis cabaret of 1920s and 1930s Berlin songs is billed as an homage, a reclamation, of the female cabaret performers of the Weimar Republic. It references forgotten names such as Valeska Gert, Gabriele Tergit and Blandine Ebinger, as well as the... | |

 | Spymonkey's CoopedSpymonkey are a physical comedy theatre group that mix clowning, a hint of naughty Monty Python and just plain old slapstick to great effect.
The troupe is clearly very talented: Petra Massey’s physical ability is awesome and the comic timings of Aitor... | |

 | PhoenixAs a rule, I’m not always the biggest fan of ‘issue’ theatre. Drama can be an excellent tool with which to explore and explain complex issues, but often the importance of the message can undermine the theatrical enjoyment of a piece, leaving it flat and... | |

 | Dick! Comes Again: Bigger, Longer,...Are you back for more Dick, or are you inexperienced in these areas? Of course I’m referring to the madcap world of adult panto at the Leicester Square Theatre. Brought to us a second year by the High Priest of Smut, Mr Stuart Saint – Dick! Comes Again:... | |

 | Enough AlreadyWritten and animated by the alleged French “polymath” François Sarhan, Enough Already incorporates live music, theatre and film in a frustratingly pretentious, paralysingly dull and dangerously tedious farrago that has the air of the Emperor’s New... | |

 | Passing ByMartin Sherman’s ‘Passing By’ has an assured niche in gay history, being one of the first plays mounted by the pioneering Gay Sweatshop, and the first that seemed to have no axe to grind. I say ‘seemed’, because the axe was there, but so subtle,... | |

 | In Time o' StrifeThe Pathhead Halls on the corner of Commercial Street and Broad Wynd, Kirkcaldy, Fife were built in 1882, originally as a theatre and music hall although one room was later used for many years by a Spiritualist Church. Yet it’s perfectly feasable that it... | |

 | Jekyll and Hyde‘Jekyll and Hyde’ is such an archetypal folk myth by now that it’s hard to believe in an imaginative world without it, or that someone actually sat down and wrote it. Robert Louis Stephenson, the story goes, had a nightmare, woke up and wrote his... | |

 | Crime and PunishmentThere’s a brazen, wonderfully self-conscious theatricality in how director Dominic Hill approaches Chris Hannan’s new stage adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s iconic novel, Crime and Punishment. It can be seen in the lack of a rising curtain to signify... | |

 | A Scent of FlowersJames Saunders is one of the forgotten playwrights of the 60s, sandwiched between, and elbowed aside by Osborne, Pinter, Stoppard etc. Yet he is a unique voice of the period, and at the time was widely regarded as a rare torchbearer of Absurdism in the... | |

 | Another Way
This bitter-sweet musical errs self-consciously on the side of the sweet, providing a Rom Com where everything seems to go right. The bald storylines of Another Way’s six characters don’t give us much to go on – two people fall in love, two people... | |
