Continue reading →: Boys in the Buff-Golden Goose Theatre.Boys in the Buff returns to the stage for the eighth time. Reworked, with new musical lyrics reflecting topical subjects like the “weight loss jabs” most people know someone who uses them even if they haven’t told you and a new lead role in the typical female part, Maxie is…

Continue reading →: Little Miss Christmas by Patti Boo Rae-Southwark Playhouse.
At this point in the festive calendar, the theatre offers a reliable refuge from the cold and the commercial crush. There are pantomimes by the dozen, yet more versions of A Christmas Carol, and adaptations of children’s books jostling for attention. Adding itself to the seasonal mix is Little Miss Christmas at Southwark…

Continue reading →: The Mystery of Irma Vep – a Penny Dreadful by Charles Ludlam at the Jack Studio Theatre.If you’re looking for something slightly chaotic, macabre and mysterious then look no further than Jack Studio Theatre this festive season. Although it’s not a Pantomime there are a few “he’s behind you” moments. Joe Newton and James Keningale take on two roles in this comedy farce The Mystery of…

Continue reading →: Judith Dimant Productions and Sh!t Theatre present Evita Too at the Purcell Room.Sh!t Theatre have never been a company to take the obvious route, and with Evita Too, their latest anarchic offering at the Purcell Room, they once again prove that history is far more interesting when it’s poked, prodded, and occasionally roller‑skated over. Evita Too is created, researched and performed by…

Continue reading →: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs-New Victoria Theatre Woking.The Wicked Queen played by the wickedly talented Lesley Joseph is part of a fun-filled cast that retells (sort of) the classic fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Princess Snow White (Briana Craig) and Prince William of Westfield (Scott Maurice) meet at the beginning of the tale and…

Continue reading →: Dracapella-Park Theatre.Panto may be off the menu at the Park Theatre this year, but the substitute dish is hardly short on seasonal silliness. Dracapella, a merrily unhinged reimagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, arrives with a fangful of puns, a clutch of power ballads and a beatboxer where you’d usually expect a band. It’s…
