A one-man revival of Jeffery Bernard Is Unwell staged inside Soho’s historic Coach and Horses pub offers an atmospheric slice of theatre history. Robert Bathurst delivers a lively performance among the audience, but the script’s celebration of Bernard’s alcoholism, gambling and misogyny now feels dated—leaving this immersive revival both entertaining and uneasy in equal measure.

A chilling ghost story comes to life at Southwark Playhouse Borough. It Walks Around The House At Night blends clever staging, immersive lighting and sound, and a gripping central performance from George Naylor. With plenty of jumps and bumps for horror fans, balanced by sharp humour and strong storytelling, this atmospheric production proves that a small theatre can deliver a seriously big night of theatre.

Rosa Garland delivers an ambitious and unsettling performance, moving through surreal vignettes that blend comedy, discomfort and bold physicality. Her commitment is undeniable, but moments of emotional depth are often overshadowed by shock-driven choices, leaving the show feeling more like an intense, chaotic dream than a fully realised comedic experience.

A nostalgic deep dive into the Design Museum’s Blitz exhibition celebrating the club that defined the New Romantic movement.

A powerful, intimate revival of Savage at the historic White Bear, where Kerill Kelly and Matthew Hartley shine as lovers torn apart, and Claire‑Monique Martin delivers a quietly extraordinary performance as the nurse who risks everything to help.

This intimate two-hander delivers beautifully nuanced performances, balancing humour with heartbreak as two isolated lives intertwine in unexpected and deeply human ways. ★★★★☆

Aboard the Golden Hinde, Silver & Gold transforms theatre into a thrillingly intimate voyage.

Atmospheric, playful and unexpectedly moving, it’s immersive storytelling at its most memorable.

Warm, funny and unexpectedly moving, Grindr Mom at Waterloo East Theatre is a standout solo performance from Jessica Martin. Blending mischievous humour with genuine emotional depth, this clever monologue explores faith, family and the search for connection, with hilarious Siri and Alexa moments sitting alongside a quietly heartbreaking journey of acceptance.

A warm, funny and unexpectedly moving 20th anniversary production, Glorious! celebrates the remarkable Florence Foster Jenkins — the socialite famously dubbed the worst singer in the world. Wendi Peters delivers a beautifully balanced performance filled with humour and vulnerability, while Matthew James Morrison provides a charming narrative anchor. With simple but effective staging and plenty of laughs, this uplifting true story leaves audiences with a genuine feel-good glow

Cooney’s name promises chaos — and Cash on Delivery delivers a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slamming doors and benefit-fuelled deception at The Mill at Sonning. Slickly performed and energetically staged, it’s a hearty slice of old-school farce — though it feels more 1970s than 1990s. Three and a half stars for an evening of comforting theatrical escapism.
