We Are Not Criminals
★★★★★ One step ahead:
Fully aware of what the audience needs and when to give it to them, Forty Elephants’ original production We Are Not Criminals hits all the right notes at all the right times.
Hoors
✭✭✭✩✩ Lacks sparkle
Some fine young performers feature in New Celts and Nook N’ Cranny’s production of Gregory Burke’s black comedy Hoors, but it never quite hits the heights.
Gagarin Way
✭✭✭✭✩ Electric energy:
There is real promise – and much that is already very good – in New Celts and Mindframe’s Gagarin Way at theSpace on the Mile.
Hemmed In
✭✭✩✩✩ Too limited:
There are some highly promising singers in New Celts and Lost Lock’s all-female musical Hemmed In, who are given real chances to shine in a production that is otherwise hampered by callowness and naïveté.
Bold Girls
✭✭✭✩✩ Careful ensemble piece:
There are no real surprises or any great excitement to be had in Bold Girls at theSpace on the Mile, but there are some solid performances by a promising young cast.
The Raven
✭✭✭✭✭ Perfect madness:
Searching for perfection, the Bawsoot Theatre Company gets pretty close in its cleverly crafted production of The Raven.
Dead Letter Office
✭✭✭✩✩ Philosophical potential:
Some Company Productions deliver a thoughtful performance with a lot of potential, but struggle to reconcile the show with its philosophical depth.
