Section · 01

Reviews,
recent and
considered.

What we have seen, what we have thought about, and — occasionally — what we have changed our minds about. We review work after it has settled, not after the press night.

This quarter.

Aerial performance
Review · Aerial

An aerial work that refuses to look like aerial work.

Two performers, a single rope, and a forty-minute meditation on the weight of waiting. We saw it twice and would happily see it again.

Cabaret room
Review · Cabaret

The new cabaret room above a Camberwell pub.

Forty-eight seats, a single piano, and a refreshing lack of pretension.

"We try to write about the work, not the room. Sometimes the room insists on being part of the work."
