M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Pretty Butch

Pretty Butch is a title that’s confusing at first – is it saying it’s a show about butches who’re pretty? Or a particularly ravishing short haired, ‘mannish’ woman? And can a butch be considered ‘pretty’, if society has already deemed the word ‘butch’ to exclude being pretty?

M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Fight! Palast #MembersOnly by Peng! Palast

If I had to categorize or label Fight! Palast, I would consider it to be less of a performance and more of an experience. Minutes into the show, I found myself moulting out of my role as an audience and engaging with the Peng! Palast trio as just another participant in a communal activity with three hosts. One likes cooking, another likes exercising, the last … Continue reading M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Fight! Palast #MembersOnly by Peng! Palast

Review: Nice Fish at the Harold Pinter Theatre

Transferring to London from a sold-out season in New York, Nice Fish sets a high precedent for itself. Written by Academy Award winner and ex-artistic director of the Globe Mark Rylance alongside Minnesotan contemporary prose poet Louis Jenkins, Nice Fish is based off Rylance’s life growing up in the freezing American Midwest, and for the most part, features two friends out on an ice-fishing trip musing about … Continue reading Review: Nice Fish at the Harold Pinter Theatre

Inspired by R&B groups such as The Supremes, Dreamgirls follows the rise of fictitious R&B girl group The Dreams as they grow up and find their way in … Continue reading Review: Dreamgirls at the Savoy Theatre
