Again, You Have Trusted Me | Sarah Stafford

I think I’m a fan because Stafford can silence a room as easily as she can get one onside, and that’s a skill, an artist that makes work that’s rough and stabby and is Not For Everyone. It’s so refreshing actually. I actually can’t think of another work I’ve seen in ages that felt so sharp-edged, so fresh in style and tone as this strange dark tonic.

Club Extimacy | The Black Box Collective

Each character felt like a person I’d met in a club bathroom, or at least someone like them. The work was a revolving door of fleeting interactions, as the world of the club thumped just outside the piss-stained walls. A hilariously authentic depiction of the bathroom chats and antics that many of us know all too well, this show accurately captured the liminality of club bathrooms.

Same Penis Forever | Rebel Lyons

Same Penis Forever treads this fine line between a shout and a whisper, between displays of the intimate and of the public. It was the epitome of a Hen’s Night at its core, where the bride reigns supreme and those who’ve come to celebrate are privy to the drunken divulgence of secrets and hesitations.

Lucy & Me | Nicolas Angelosanto

Lucy & Me charmed me with the tale of man, Sphenn, and his bike, Lucy, trying to get home to Germany. We followed the two on wacky adventures as they tried to make money for a plane ticket. Sphenn was part trickster and part fool, an effeminate, romantic, simple-minded, European caricature. Nicolas brought enthusiasm, extremity and maintained his character well. I enjoyed his commitment to silliness, wiggling his whole body or licking the corners of a stamp feverishly until he got a laugh.

This Wide Night by Chloe Moss | A Moveable Theatre

With the play only having two characters, and little in set design, This Wide Night relies heavily on the dialogue and body language of the performers. Luckily, the play is in good hands, as Sharde Anne and Julia Johnson are tremendous with their performances and their wide acting range, going from humour to sadness to anger and everything in between. The dialogue sounded natural and the portrayal of Marie and Lorraine are very raw and brutally honest.
