Local theatre productions and exhibitions.

Without Warning at The Old Vic Tunnels
Friday 3 February 2012 - Alice Dickerson
An extremely well executed piece of experimental theatre, this production fails to realise its ambitious aims.
King John at the Union Theatre
Saturday 21 January 2012 - Alice Dickerson
Despite being one of Shakespeare's least known plays, this production bursts at the seams with passion, humour and drama.
Noises Off at The Old Vic
Saturday 31 December 2011 - Marion Marples
The Old Vic’s Christmas show ‘Noises Off’ brings tears of laughter to the eyes even after 30 years. Michael Frayn’s 1982 classic has been revived many times and has been seen by most theatre aficionados.
Murmurs at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre
Tuesday 27 December 2011 - Alice Dickerson
An alternative to the festive but familiar pantomimes and ballets, which all ages will appreciate as the perfect post-Christmas treat.
Orpheus in the Underworld at the Young Vic
Saturday 3 December 2011 - Alice Dickerson
A commendable attempt to broaden the appeal of opera, but one that unfortunately is more likely to turn the audience off rather than on.
Hamlet at the Young Vic
Saturday 12 November 2011 - Alice Dickerson
Michael Sheen does not disappoint in the title role as the tortured prince, but the production falls short of breathing new life into this oft-staged play.

Thursday 6 October 2011 - Kevin Newton
Bound is a voyage into the heart of a dying industry, told through the souls of proud men.
The Playboy of the Western World at The Old Vic
Friday 30 September 2011 - Rob Marshall
Considering this dark, funny, thoroughly miserable Irish tale of deceit, villainy and disappointment was first performed at the Abbey Theatre Dublin in January 1907 it anticipates the genre of sitcom with remarkable wit.
Street Scene at the Young Vic
Wednesday 21 September 2011 - Alice Dickerson
A Broadway classic, which successfully blends operatic high-drama with all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy.
The Belle's Stratagem at Southwark Playhouse
Sunday 11 September 2011 - Alice Dickerson
A little bit of history is required to fully appreciate The Belle's Stratagem.
The God of Soho at Shakespeare's Globe
Sunday 4 September 2011 - Alice Dickerson
Does this provocative production represent a step too far for Shakespeare's Globe, asks Alice Dickerson.
Globe Mysteries at Shakespeare's Globe

The Globe Mysteries at Shakespeare's Globe opens with a group of hoodies who soon show their faces as many characters in an exciting three hour religious tableau.
Marcia Mar at Nolia's Gallery

Acrylic, oil, brush, ink, music and a novel. All together. That is what you will find at the Care Revolution exhibition at Nolia's Gallery by the artist, writer and musician Marcia Mar.
Song of the City at Southwark Playhouse
Friday 5 August 2011 - Fiona Doyle
Inspired by the music, art and poetry of one of India’s greatest literary figures Rabindranath Tagore, Song of the City was developed with an underground space in mind and works in tandem with the evocative Vault space at Southwark Playhouse.
The Beauty Queen of Leenane at the Young Vic
Thursday 28 July 2011 - Alice Dickerson
This dark comedy proved so popular on its first run, it has returned to the Young Vic for a second dose of shock-a-minute drama.
