london fringe theatre reviews


It was also such a nice feeling to hear some French music at the London Fringe. Wondering when, when is the time to put them in a home without feeling you are abandoning them. There are many talented performers in this show, and their passion and dedication lends itself to an emotive performance, however, at times it felt disjointed and I couldn’t quite connect with the story. It’s the story of a woman who is either being interrogated or interviewed by a police detective.

Created by and starring Katie Hartman and Nick Ryan of The Coldharts, Edgar Allan is a deliciously dark, funny, and beautiful love letter to American gothic legend Edgar Allan Poe. But most importantly, Left Behind is a way to remind us what it feels like to be human. I loved the audience interaction and ‘gifts’ to remember this show by and a dark reminder of NO Joe – no show. If you’re not concerned with an incredibly genius and well written narrative and you want to see something funny, stupid, and straight up fun, then (Sex) Cult: A Musical (S)explosion almost certainly something you’ll enjoy. Well Done. The National Theatre’s production of Tartuffe brings the story into the 21st century with John Donnelly’s new adaptation […], Austria: The MOOsical When you have endless possibilities for the setting and story line of a musical, the topics that come up can be adventurous, hilarious and quite frankly, strange. BRILLIANT!!! His observations on the Big Bang theory and “what exactly is nothing if it is something” will have audiences will nod and laugh along. Come From Away has recently celebrated its first year in London’s West End and welcomed a host of new cast me... A statement regarding customer bookings in relation to UK theatre closures due to coronavirus. From the many laughs to the very heartfelt moments, all around Reunited Shorts is a spectacular collection of short plays and makes for a “short” but fun time. When they look off over the crowd describing what they see, you feel like you are right there with them. Alastair Knowles has created beautiful, evocative theatre in his production “Ink.” His two-dimensional character, made to appear as a black and white drawing, interacts with the audience to comedic effect (no spoilers here!) However, the poetic style of the show’s writing becomes very repetitive very quickly, and does not clearly tie into any of the themes of the play. The performer is a tour de force. I think I need to pack my bags and go back there asap. The creativity that emerges when the trombone becomes a vehicle for self-expression is astonishing. It’s central to the performance, and a lot of fun to see Alistair interact with. The lighting and sound techniques were excellent and fit the story well. Carey creates one instrument at a time with his voice and layers them on top of one another all while doing aggressively silly dances and singing. Definitely a contender for the Best of the Fringe Award. The show is confidently performed, despite feeling a bit unsure of what it is trying to do at times. But I think the claim of “You’ll laugh. The production is simple, featuring only the actor, some period music cues, and a lot of lighting changes (that had Rolls chasing his marks a bit during the opening show). This production hails from Midland with London Fringe being their first Fringe show. Review based on the Wed, May 29 performance. This powerful performance pulls you in right from the first line. The play follows a young prodigy named Edgar Allan, who is furious and devastated when another young genius also named Edgar Allan joins his class. The performers are amazing and paint rich, vivid characters. The story line is so clear. This was a lovely story that brought me to tears. Note that the show on Sunday, June 2, at 2:00 pm will be entirely in French. And just as you triumphed over adversity through your childhood, so too you persevered through this added injury to this tale of perverse insult, and gamely carried on, finding ways to cope and rise above the pain. How even the tears brought them a smile. Peeing outside presents its challenges to women and Holly has all of the solutions to life’s little inconveniences. My wife and I went to this play Monday evening and were blown away. Kill my Hope – Folly & the Hunter. This show IS AMAZING. Toxicity – System of a Down A must-see for anyone who wants to let loose and smile like a child again. If you see only one trombone-based show in this year’s London Fringe, make it A Solo from the Pit. As Peter Janes said, a lot of this show feels like a tease between Connor and the Big Metal Hoop; most of the show is Connor dancing without it, but at the end you’re certainly rewarded. Throne Life is a combination of a confident performance and a show that perhaps could do with a little less confidence. Copyright © 2020 Official Theatre - Official London theatre box office and show information Watching Erin dance tango while on pointe is mesmerising. Lens is an absolutely fantastic show that provides the audience with a clear and powerful message. I’m not kidding. Holly Brinkman is an engaging storyteller who will keep you laughing at her anecdotes about growing up with a vulva! It is genuinely inspiring to see something so unique and creative unfold on stage. In Menagerie of Bones we are given a glimpse into one day in the life of a young girl, her two siblings, her deeply abusive father and her emotionally struggling mother. As shes the only one on stage, her performance ends up hindering a fascinating life story. Kim: No one had to tell you to “break a leg” before each compelling performance of A Menagerie of Bones! We knew the basics of what the play was beforehand but definitely weren’t expecting to be so moved by the performance.

In this series of six short pieces, the audience is taken on a journey into experiences of grief and sadness, joy and humour. Given the paucity of theatre in London at the moment, the Garden Theatre could have put on anything and secured the sort of sell-out audiences that Pippin has already achieved. We got it, but there was a buffer and we didn’t get lost in it. The show features five songs, each of which is entirely composed on stage by Carey with a microphone and a looper. You have obviously continued to cultivate this creativity and imagination in the life you live today. But the darkness is regularly illuminated by Edgar’s beautiful, melancholic songs. Bennett’s exuberant storytelling is well-known to London fringe fans, but this show is a step away from his usual comedic tone. A lovely show with an important message, masterfully crafted and perfect for a Canadian Fringe audience. Thanks for the advice, John. I feel the show allows you all of this, in a time when we still don’t have answers to chase the illness away. The story is creatively told using a child’s toy box, including dolls made of yarn and tiny sets made of cardboard and paint. Definitely worth seeing. Myself included.

I saw Sunday’s show and he did his best to interact with all the children in the audience – even the one(s) at the back! Reviews | Although a times a tad choppy going from sketch to sketch, the comedians are clearly a talented crew.

The actress who played the daughter at the end emotional performance was lovely too. As others have said it’s a play that makes you laugh and cry. Thanks for presenting at Fringe! When you enter, the stage is empty, with just a roll of white paper suspended above the stage. Wow! For a story which jumps around in the timeline it is masterfully written, transitioning between timeframes and life events naturally while maintaining the tension of each event with ease. You will not regret it. This trio of Heroes shows us that heroism can come in many forms despite tenuous grips on lucidity.

Another case of the victors writing history. And in the hands of two masters, John Huston and Kenneth Brown, these two stories – favourites both of fans and of Conan Doyle himself – take on a delightful, three-dimensional life. All told in a witty way that is uniquely Len Cuthbert. In his return to the London Fringe after an eight-year absence, Rolls tells the life story of Lise Meitner, the co-discoverer of the process of nuclear fission. My son and I were fortunate enough to attend the dress rehearsal of this production and loved every minute of it, including the moments that brought us to tears. What a great and important performance one and all and yes I wanted to grab the little dog too. Inspired by Poe’s short stories, poems, and personal life, Edgar Allan perfectly brings to life the creepy and surreal atmosphere of Poe’s work. Imagine a radio show dedicated to vintage French songs, and you’ve got the gist of La vie en Rosen.

Performed and sung by Cindy Rosen and brilliantly accompanied on piano by Marque Smith the play tells the story of Cindy’s mother through narration (in English), and French songs. At the end of the show, Alastair announced that this was his first solo show; it was a pleasure to co-create this performance with him! He starts with a sing-along with the audience. Congratulations to Trish, the cast and crew! The framing device, in which a troupe of performers retell Pippin’s tale, has seen subsequent revivals play up that aspect, culminating in 2013’s Broadway revival by director Diane Paulus, which set the whole story in a grand scale cirque spectacular. Solo storytelling is difficult to pull off well for many veterans of the stage. You know you have seen an awesome play when it moves you to raw emotions, both tears and laughter. He appears to swallow 10 sharp sewing needles. This is a play about a dysfunctional family, based on true events. Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) – Marvin Gaye In order to keep the peace between Sparta and Athens, the women, lead by Lysistrata, devise a plan to with-hold sex from all the men in the land until peace can be made between the two cities – we have a war of the sexes! It doesn’t care about your feeling. Your email address will not be published. To sum up, come for the memories, stay for the swag, but be blown away by the Bladerunner Garfield skit. A high energy show with a very talented performer is perfect for all ages. Go See This Show!!

My friends and I loved the earlier workshop production of this play in Toronto and we can’t wait to see the new London fringe production. While it’s not a particularly deep story, he never said it would be.
