“The Lives of Others takes the tension and intimacy of a cinematic spy thriller and finds an extraordinarily effective way to realise it on stage.”

“There is still a great deal to love about Martin Guerre, and it remains an amazing musical.”

“There's a great deal to enjoy in this Cherry Orchard, not least the opportunity to watch Kristin Scott Thomas at her most captivating.”

“What an incredible night at the theatre.”

“Hay Fever remains very much a play of its time and its collection of self-centred characters eventually wears a little thin.”

“For the most part, it succeeds, finding wit and humanity within some very big ideas.”

“Then that ship finally launches, the vast stage comes alive, and for a few spectacular minutes The Last Ship becomes every bit as epic as its title suggests.”

“Fresh, funny and gripping, The Story is storytelling at full throttle.”

“White Rabbit Red Rabbit is an unusual and thought-provoking theatrical experiment, with the unpredictability of a new performer each week built into its DNA.”

“How the Other Half Loves contains an undeniably clever theatrical idea at its heart, but this revival struggles to overcome the age of the material.”

“A compelling, intelligent and beautifully staged production.”

“Add in a charismatic leading performance from Sam Ryder, and this is a production well worth seeing.”

“This live adaptation successfully captures that same spirit, bringing the controlled chaos and infectious enthusiasm of the television series into the theatre.”

“Unfortunately Trainspotting: The Musical never successfully recreates the attitude, music and visual identity of its source material, or unlocks the emotional depth needed to make the audience truly care about the characters inhabiting it.”

“Original, moving and technically exceptional, it's one of the finest revivals currently in the West End.”

“The production belongs to Joel Harper-Jackson.”
