Compania Ana Morales – Without Permission, Songs for Silence

June 26, 2022 Last updated: June 26, 2022 4:07 pm By Marian Kennedy Leave a Comment

Compania Ana Morales - Without Permission, Songs for Silence. Photo by Oscar Romero.

This show was at its best when the dance was fast and frenzied, elevated at times to the sublime by the thrilling vocals of Juan Jose Amador. While showcasing her own daughter-father relationship the specifics described can be interpreted to extend to a consideration of other father-daughter relationships. Including the tenderness and the influencing while acknowledging difference and the necessary unknown in the other. There was poignancy in the metaphor of a lifted embrace from which … [Read more...]

East London Shakespeare Festival’s Twelfth Night

East London Shakespeare Festival’s Twelfth Night offers up an 80s-themed rendition of the classic comedy, touring across parks in East London this summer. Promised fun for the whole family, ELSF deliver a memorable and community-centred experience that highlights local talent. Armed with my picnic, and sitting alongside many other families, I was lucky enough to watch the production at the very beautiful Fellowship Square in Walthamstow. This production makes excellent use of the square’s … [Read more...]

Hamlet at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre

June 24, 2022 Last updated: June 24, 2022 4:34 pm By Terry Eastham 1 Comment

Hamlet at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre

It’s well known that the Prince of Denmark is a gloomy kind of chap who mopes around a lot. Usually, this is put down to the death of his father and the actions of his mother and uncle but, maybe there is a different explanation. An idea that is explored by Series2 Theatre Company in their production of Hamlet at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre. In a basement flat, Hamlet (Joseph Ryan-Hughes) is mooching around. He wanders back and forth in a distracted manner clutching a pamphlet in his hand. … [Read more...]

Travis Jay: Son of David at Soho Theatre, Downstairs

June 24, 2022 Last updated: June 24, 2022 4:08 pm By Mary Beer Leave a Comment

Travis Jay

Travis Jay’s stand-up act at the Soho Theatre manages to balance just enough acidic observation with warm-hearted wit to create a simply funny, true and uplifting experience. As a sort of emotional coming-of-age story, Jay speaks with pride about his father, who inspired the show’s title Son of David, as his defender and champion growing up in south London and the inspiration of his comedian mother. Touching on glimpses of celebrity status (so near and yet so far as evidenced by being … [Read more...]

Sad-Vents by Eleanor Hill at The White Bear Theatre

June 24, 2022 Last updated: June 24, 2022 12:49 pm By Chris Omaweng Leave a Comment

Sad-Vents - photographer credit Joe Twigg.

The satirical musical revue Forbidden Broadway once poked fun out of Mamma Mia!, declaring it to be complex enough to have two acts, as opposed to the seeming plethora of one-act productions that now adorn stages on both sides of the Atlantic. As this was one of those evenings at the theatre where I didn’t want the play to end, it was a pleasant surprise to find when the lights came up after almost ninety minutes of Sad-Vents we had reached the interval and not an abrupt conclusion. The full … [Read more...]

Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World

June 23, 2022 Last updated: June 23, 2022 12:14 am By Chris Omaweng Leave a Comment

Jade Kennedy, Christina Modestou, Kirstie Skivington and Renee Lamb, Pamela Raith Photography.

A show called Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World could, if it wanted to, go on all night, and one must resist the temptation to indulge in whataboutery: Dame Sarah Gilbert, Teresa Lambe OBE and Catherine Green OBE were part of the Oxford University team who developed the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, but aren’t portrayed in this production. Neither is Elizabeth Fry (1780-1845), the prison reformer and philanthropist. Seventy-five per cent of the workforce at Bletchley Park … [Read more...]

Ten Days in a Mad House by So It Goes Theatre Company

June 22, 2022 Last updated: June 22, 2022 12:18 am By Chris Omaweng Leave a Comment

Ten Days in a Mad House

It’s quite a story, Ten Days in a Madhouse: Nellie Bly (1864-1922) (Lindsey Huebner) was an ambitious journalist who pushed boundaries because she sought to investigate how women were being treated in various contexts. What she didn’t want to do was write articles on topics that female journalists were largely confined to at the time, such as fashion and culture. By 1887, she found herself doing just that, so she resigned. To cut a long story short, various potential opportunities were denied, … [Read more...]
