I really enjoyed Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare’s Hamlet and I look forward to seeing others in their repertoire in future.

The latest from Nick on MyTheatreMates
‘All entertaining in a quirky & engaging way’: THE FIRST MODERN MAN – Hen & Chickens Theatre
The First Modern Man has that elusive and winning blend, it is a play that manages to be both enjoyable and informative. Recommended.
‘Witty & warm-hearted’: MURDER FOR TWO – The Other Palace
The Studio at The Other Palace is the perfect setting for Murder For Two, which is an affectionate homage to black and white murder mystery movies and to camp musical theatre. It is written by an American pair, Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair, who clearly have a love for both of the genres that they are sending up.
‘A great production of a chilling play’: MACBETH – Barbican Theatre
This is a Macbeth that emphasises the psychological horror of the story. It is a brutal and murderous play, but priority is given to the effects of the violence rather than the violence itself.
‘Patsy Ferran is phenomenal, it is a career-defining role’: SUMMER & SMOKE – West End
Summer and Smoke had a successful run at the Almeida theatre earlier in the year. The reviews at the time were ecstatic but tickets were impossible to get, so it was great news to hear that it had been given a West End transfer.
