Review: Firebird
(PR Invite) Every once in a while, you come across a play that completely hooks you, and you want nothing more than to see it again after leaving, still thinking about it days later.
This is exactly how I felt watching Firebird — an incredibly harrowing and powerful story about Tia, a girl who has been in care since she was three. She forms a connection with a man she thinks she can trust, but it ultimately unfolds into a deeply real story about grooming.

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.
