Memoriam

"potential for a brilliant play here, but it needs a serious trim to bring the central story back into focus"

THE PIANIST

★★★★☆
“It is, in many ways, a remarkable piece of theatre exceptionally well told which I predict will have a very bright future.”

Tell Me Straight

★☆☆☆☆
"hoping the venue manages to limp along or even do better until their new management is in place Spring 2027."

The Other Room

★★★☆☆
“ A tender, funny and heartbreaking reminder that even in the shadow of death, life — and the possibility of new beginnings — must go on.

Alleyne Dance – Far From Home

★★★★☆
“…an evening of choreographic strength which confirmed my belief that dance can challenge and reframe one’s view of the world in movement and music. Outstanding!”

STORIES – The Tap Dance Sensation

★★★★★
"theatrical storytelling at its most exhilarating, delivered entirely through dance and physical performance. The energy is extraordinary, the staging is astonishing, and there isn't a weak link in the entire production."

Dog Mom

★★★☆☆
"While some aspects of the technical staging and lead performance could be more polished, Dog Mom remains an enjoyable and emotionally engaging production, particularly for anyone who has ever loved a dog."

BALLET BLACK – 25TH ANNIVERSARY PROGRAMME
