Review: You Killed My Cat
(PR Invite) Written by Morgane Rogers, You Killed My Cat is a new 50-minute play produced by Poor Penny Productions.
The play opens with Mary alone in her kitchen, clearly on edge, when a stranger turns up at her door claiming he’s found her missing cat — or at least part of it.

Review: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Southwark Playhouse)
(PR Invite) Toby Hulse’s 80 minute adaptation of this Shakespeare classic has its own special kind of magic — not just from the fairies and enchantments, but from the pure joy of childhood imagination.

Review: TWO
(PR Invite) Set in a typical British pub, Jim Cartwright’s TWO explores the role of the local in community life. This production transforms the theatre’s own bar into The Clock and Compass, with the entire 90-minute play performed in the space. It’s an immersive setup that places you right in the middle of the story as it unfolds. The closeness makes it feel less like theatre and more like spending an evening in your local alongside the regulars.
