'The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs' review — this funny, warm show follows in the tradition of great British ensemble dramas | London Theatre

1 week ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Julia Rank

First staged at Soho Theatre in 2022, Iman Qureshi’s play The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs is a response to the lack of depictions of lesbian life. A running theme throughout is that gay men get the lion’s share of the drama and attention while queer women are expected to quietly tend to their cats and allotments, hence their lack of collective social amenities.
'4.48 Psychosis' review — Sarah Kane's deeply personal swansong is a monumental event in recent theatre history | London Theatre

1 week ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Holly O'Mahony

Upstairs at the Royal Court, on the same intimate stage where Sarah Kane’s bleakly questioning swansong was first performed a quarter of a century ago, the three actors who originally breathed life into her words resume their positions. They have aged by 25 years; the playwright has not: she took her own life aged 28, and 4.48 Psychosis, which is famously regarded as her suicide note, premiered just 18 months after her death.
'Storehouse' review — this new immersive theatre show has sky-high production values and a topical subject | London Theatre

2 weeks ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Anya Ryan

Immersive theatre is bigger than ever in London. Right now you can hop on board the You Me Bum Bum Train, battle a Martian invasion at War of the Worlds, or join the Pink Ladies and T-Birds at Secret Cinema's Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical. So, when a new kid arrives on the block, it has got to do something truly special to stand out. And Storehouse, the brainchild of the new company Sage and Jester, certainly has the money behind it to make it a theatrical marvel.
Which Tony Award-winning shows might come to London?

2 weeks ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Matt Wolf

The Tony Awards don’t just make or break Broadway shows; the New York theatre’s annual celebration often has implications for London too. By way of proof, look no further than the currently previewing West End play Stereophonic, which won last year’s Tony for Best Play and has crossed the pond in the Tony-winning director Daniel Aukin’s production, albeit with some changes in cast.
'Miss Myrtle's Garden' review — this tender play about family, grief and dementia starts an important conversation | London Theatre

3 weeks ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Aliya Al-Hassan

In a garden somewhere in Peckham, 82-year-old Myrtle laments her overgrown garden. Her cat has gone missing, her Irish neighbour is causing problems, and she has invited her grandson Rudy and his friend Jason to live with her without consulting her husband. Rudy has questions about his father, but Myrtle feels she cannot revisit painful memories. As her mind starts to betray her, those questions become more important than ever.
'A Midsummer Night's Dream' review —this joyful, acrobatic comedy is the party of the summer | London Theatre

3 weeks ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Julia Rank

Returning to the Bridge Theatre following a run in 2019, Nicholas Hytner’s immersive production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s most captivating comedy, is an explosion of acrobatic wonder. A precursor of sorts to Hytner’s dazzling staging of Guys & Dolls, it’s theatre as a gymnasium where anything goes – including a generous dose of gender and sexual fluidity – and there’s no such thing as too much showing off. The opening scenes, however, point towards a dystopian interpretation.
Lara Pulver on raising the roof at the Barbican

3 weeks ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Aliya Al-Hassan

After a sell-out run at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre last year, Jordan Fein’s Olivier Award-winning revival of Fiddler on the Roof is returning to London at the Barbican Theatre this summer. Actor Lara Pulver is reprising her role as matriarch Golde, along with Adam Dannheisser as milkman Teyve. A previous Olivier Award winner for her role as Louise in Gypsy and nominated again this year for Best Actress in a Musical for Fiddler, Pulver is a stalwart of both stage and screen.

Say I do to these wedding-themed London theatre shows

3 weeks ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Marianka Swain

Till the Stars Come DownBeth Steel’s phenomenal family drama all takes place at a wedding. Sylvia is getting married to Marek, but when her sprawling working-class clan is brought together, tensions between them rise to the surface – including wider social concerns triggered by her choice of groom, a Polish immigrant.
'Elephant' review — Anoushka Lucas is completely transfixing in this miniature powerhouse of a play | London Theatre

4 weeks ago | londontheatre.co.uk | Anya Ryan

In the 80-seater studio at the Bush Theatre, Anoushka Lucas’s debut play Elephant felt gigantic. The monologue told the love story between Lylah (played by Lucas herself), a mixed-race, working-class girl who passes among the middle classes, and her beloved mahogany piano. In that small space, Lylah’s affection for her instrument pulsed like a beating heart — unfaltering, tender and rhythmic.
