Review: Evo Evo
(PR Invite) Evo Evo is a show brought to Playhouse East this week by four London-based Balkan performers. It's difficult to describe the show in terms of a particular genre, but this performance is a mixture of humour, song, dance and comedy sketches that shares and celebrates a culture that is often overlooked and underrepresented.

Review: We'll Always Have Paris
(PR Invite) We'll Always Have Paris is a new play written by Paul Kalburgi, which has been running at the White Bear Theatre in Kennington for the last few weeks, ending its run on 3 October. Inspired by cinema's greatest love stories, this 120-minute play, with a 15-minute interval, tells its won love story but with a heartbreaking twist.

Review: DAD
(PR Invite) Dad is a new play written by David Solomon and produced by Cellar Door Theatre Company. The 80-minute production follows three estranged brothers who are forced to come together when their father goes missing. Yet no one is completely devastated by the news, and it soon becomes clear that there are more truths to be unearthed as the evening goes on, eventually coming to a head in an explosive and emotional ending.

Review: Don Toberman: Ping Pong Champ
(PR Invite) The concept of this show is absolutely bizarre, and I did wonder before going in how exactly it would work. However, what I found was a really clever and immersive piece of theatre that had me in tears of laughter for much of its 60-minute runtime.

Review: Vasthy & Friends: Sing, Dance, Play!
(PR) Vasthy & Friends: Sing, Dance, Play! is a fun and interactive musical with songs, dancing, fun and laughter for families. The show recently performed during the Edinburgh Fringe with a 60-minute runtime; however, I am reviewing a shorter recording of the production provided by the team.

Review: Right before I go
(PR Invite) Written by Stan Zimmerman (writer of Golden Girls and Gilmore Girls) and directed by Abigail Morris (Kindertransport, Colder Than Here), Right Before I Go is a raw and emotional play that truly stayed with me long after I left the theatre.

Review: Mega Church Xmas Play
(PR Invite) Written by Nicola Ryan, Mega Church Xmas Play is described as a “surreal, absurd, irreverent farce”, so I was very intrigued to see what the show had in store.
