‘Guaranteed to occupy your thoughts long after the stage lights dim’: PEACE IN OUR TIME – Union Theatre
A fascinating historical curio, Sasha Regan’s production Peace In Our Time is also a fine piece of speculative drama, imbued with Coward’s gift for eloquence and waspishness.
‘One of the finest musical theatre productions in town’: GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES – Union Theatre ★★★★★
Sasha Regan’s revival of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is one of the finest musical theatre productions in town.
‘The audience seemed to be in a constant state of euphoria throughout’: THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE – Wilton’s Music Hall ★★★★★
This production of The Pirates of Penzance, as a whole, is a delight. It breathes a new depth into a classic and beloved opera without losing it’s eccentric British quality. I would highly recommend it to any fan of Gilbert and Sullivan, or anyone who can appreciate a witty and silly story about British pirates. It was a wonderful treat to experience and a joyous night out.

‘It’s not all dancing around fairy rings’: IOLANTHE – Touring ★★★★
This wonderful production of Sasha Regan’s all-male Iolanthe is now in the final leg of its UK tour. As such, the cast – who, reviews have suggested, were excellent to begin with – have now matured into a perfect company, enchanting in both voice and movement.
‘I doubt you’ll find another Iolanthe as unashamedly fun as this’: IOLANTHE – Touring
Of all of Sasha Regan’s all-male Gilbert and Sullivan productions, Iolanthe is the one which I remember most fondly so the news that it was the choice for this year’s revival for a UK tour left me tripping hither and thither in excitement.
‘It’s as camp as a flamingo in fishnets… and it works’: IOLANTHE – Touring ★★★★
Sasha Regan’s all-male Iolanthe is as camp as a flamingo in fishnets. And it works. Leaving the matinée even the most senior of Richmond’s citizens could be seen doing little skips and humming.

THE MIKADO – Touring
The adaption is set in a private school camping trip which I must admit, I did not realise until I read it in the programme. I feel the production was supposed to be contextualised within a certain setting, however, I felt it was staged rather randomly in a wood far away from any towns or villages.
BLONDEL – Union Theatre

BLONDEL – Union Theatre
There is no denying that this musical is an oddity. Based in the Middle Ages and the Crusades, Tim Rice’s rarely seen musical is given a lively if occasionally over the top revival thanks to Sasha Regan’s entertaining production.
BLONDEL – Union Theatre
I’ve been trying to remember why I didn’t go to either the 1983 original or the 2006 London revival of Blondel. Especially as its central character is King Richard I of England whose heir presumptive Prince John was my 32-times great grandfather or somesuch.
BLONDEL – Union Theatre
As a regular theatre goer I’m often asked by friends what plays and musicals I’d most like to see a production of… not the shows I just haven’t had a chance to catch but the ones that don’t really get to see the light of day. Somehow in the past year The Union Theatre has managed to tick two off from right at the top of the list.
