Flamencura @ Sadler’s Wells Review
Flamencura shouldn‘t be viewed on a stage in London. It should be experienced somewhere in the Andelusian mointains, with the beat echoing off the hills, the smell of nature mixing with man and the concentration shared between the audience and performers. Luckily we do not need to travel south to see this show, they have brought it here to London and we are lucky that they have.

Contact @ Sadler’s Wells Review
Imagine, if you will, the myth of Faust, seen through the lens of a Golden-age Hollywood musical comedy, wrapped up in homage to contemporary dance legend Pina Bausch. French theatre maker Philipe Decoulfé and Compagnie DCA collaborate to present Contact, a witty, beautiful and surrealist ode to both cabaret and musicals.

Lungs at the Roundabout Southbank Centre
Lungs is one of the four new plays being shown at the Roundabout by Paines Plough Theatre Company. Duncan MacMillan presents us with a touching and matter-of-fact debate on the matter of having children. This is portrayed through the journey of a young conscientious couple who stumble upon the question: should we have a baby?
The Initiate @ The Roundabout Southbank Centre
Paines Plough comes up with a delightful pop-up theatre concept that is meant to go around the country taking theatre to the people. I applaud such an idea especially as it aims to divulge new writing and I welcome the fresh thoughts that many new playwrights are bringing to the landscape of theatre. Without them, theatre would not be moving forward and we would be living on old stories that are on repeat.
