Delivers more of a playful nibble than a committed bite.

Though it hits some of the right notes with a star-studded cast, it is certainly not pitch perfect.

Asks compelling questions, but formulaic and superficial in its exploration of deeper issues.

Even though it got a little gritty with some of its creative choices, it struck gold on the story.

A strong start for the production company, telling a story within the sensitive political environment of China. Its success hinges on audience’s familiarity on the Chinese system and culture.

Toes the line between drama and black comedy, and poses interesting questions about art, inspiration, and the connection between people and places.

Interesting behind the scenes of a national operation.

Packed with heart and shines a light on a topic that is too often ignored.

For all the sharpness of weaponry available to the characters, this revival lacks a certain keen edge.

Spins a journey of discovery for one, and a cautionary tale of catfishing for everybody else.

Offers genuine moments of reflection and engages with a range of complex themes.

Promising new theatre production that depicts the many facets of Edgar Allan Poe.

A sparkling score, genuine heart, but in need of some hemming.

Developed with so much heart and a pendulum swinging between one step forward and two steps back.

Not quite The Full Monty, but still a unique piece of full-frontal fun.

An interesting spin on a classic tale, a proper family musical that leaves you smiling.

Rough around the edges, but still plenty of fun if you succumb to its mayhem.

A witty dark comedy with too much violence and not enough tension.

Filled with infectious energy and a whirlwind of character sketches.

Created with a lot of love.
