Threesome is often crude, sometimes boldly empowering and occasionally shows a glimpse of something more sophisticated emerging, but ultimately falls a little short on laughs.
Extraordinary, astonishing, unmissable five star production that brings three of Shakespeare's plays up to date in an electrifying production that should not be missed.
After Party sees tensions, long since buried, bubble to the surface, as one of the old gang returns from prison to settle old scores and reclaim what he believes to be his.
Seventeen captures a cathartic moment in young people's lives - the last day at school - but does not reach its potential due to a largely lacklustre script.
Limehouse focuses on the events concerning the founding of the Social Democratic Party the SDP and the drafting of the Limehouse Declaration that led to it. Many, many parallels with today's…

Cult
Ionesco's absurd theatre brought to life in a handsome production that is full of wit and humour, but never loses its avant garde character.
Swifties examines the obsessive nature of fandom, as dress-up and role play turns into something much more sinister in this reinvention of Jean Genet's The Maids.

Gary Naylor sees an energetic, loud and often charming tale of love in a wartime POW Camp.
The Cherry Orchard retains its power to reach across decades and tell us harsh truths about a changing world.
The Sorrows of Satan delights from beginning to end, packing in witty songs, wonderful performances and a laughs per minute ratio as high as any in the West End.
The Wild Party is plenty wild enough, but its overly ambitious book and parade of cookie-cutter characters means that it never lands a knockout punch - or song.
Has theatre come to terms with 21st century women Or are female characters too frequently there to help the men drive the plot from curtain to curtain
Max Gill's clever adaptation of this classic play brings it right up to date, into the world of Tinder and Grindr and fluid sexual identities.
Ventoux captures two very different men going mano a mano against each other, against the Tour de France's most fearsome mountain and, ultimately, against history's insistence that they pay …

Anyone Can Whistle is a rare combination of a well-deserved flop and a must-see show. Swallow the myriad flaws, and its an entertaining, sharp and eerily prophetic show.
The show has bags of potential, passion to burn and excellent singing, but is let down by a pedestrian book and sprawling subplots.
This one-off cinema presentation is a great way to see Newsies The Broadway Musical and get a feel for what it's like to be in a big New York audience.
