Being thrown back into the world of the pandemic strikes a chord with audiences; it divides and unites, allowing singular audience members to be struck with uncomfortable memories, creating distance in the room, and also allowing sympathy to arise from the deepest part of the mind. Overall, it made me think; Nikol Kollars took a risk in Fickle Eulogy, sharing her mother’s story with strangers, and in doing so, helped mourn the loss of many mothers everywhere.

What would you do if your best friend turned to you like a deer in headlights, resembling a prisoner about to make a run for it…oh, and she’s wearing a wedding dress, a hundred guests are sitting in a church, and a man is standing in a tuxedo at the altar? Every Great Man beautifully depicts the relationship between two best friends, and the moment fight-or-flight mode is activated, plus so much more.

If you have ever muttered the words ‘those who can’t, teach, ’ I dare you to see this show. It is bold, hilarious, meticulously executed and beyond thought-provoking. Miss is a 60-minute love letter to teachers. It runs at Lion and Unicorn Theatre, and quite frankly, it is like nothing I have seen this year at The Camden Fringe. 

Lead actress Meg Coslett plays Miss, a teacher who guides us through her daily schedule while describing every aspect of the school, her students and other teachers....

We Predict A Riot runs for 40 minutes at Camden’s Etcetera Theatre as part of this year’s Camden Fringe. Stacey and Paula Haber create a story surrounding news, politics, and governmental decisions, leaving the audience asking — is this show echoing the current state of society, predicting future political outcomes, or is it trying to panic us? The play rushes through all of these topics with a collection of big words, complicated plot lines, and continuous new c...

Getting There (But Not Quite) takes us on a journey through nostalgia using intelligent wit, a collection of 2000s references, Indian culture and relatable daily struggles. The audience is in the palm of Joshi’s hand. This show at Soho Theatre is a conversation between the room and Joshi. He asks permission and seizes moments with impeccable comedic timing whilst we breathlessly laugh, dramatically gasp, and hope it never ends.
The audience often sympathises with Joshi at his failed attempts to...

Katie Davids’ Walking With Molly drills into audiences’ heads the rather topical question: ’Would you rather be followed home by a man or a bear?’. As suggested by Molly, neither option is ideal — a bear seems a rather terrifying option in comparison to another human being.  However, what this play accentuates through mostly Molly’s sister’s role is Molly’s ignorance of the bigger topic of women’s safety. Walking With Molly allows audiences to explore...

The Sasha Gefen leads a company that uses a collection of tricks and calls to improvise a vocal story. It truly is one the of most fabulous examples of communication and the importance of listening. I felt part of a welcoming and peaceful cult that celebrated that individual in the room, as if we were all supporting together, a personalised therapy session witnessed by a surrounding crowd.
