Ring That Bell!
★★★★☆ Eternal
Welcome to hell! Please be seated and give your attention to the orientation presentation on your eternal stay in the centre of the earth.
Happier Daze
★★★☆☆ Deeply felt
Happier Daze, from RIFF Theatre and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, is an uneven production, with some problems in its staging but a great deal of heart.
Tales of Vomit, Trash and Broken Glass
★★★☆☆ Ambitious
Tales of Vomit, Trash and Broken Glass, from New Celts and Not So Nice! at theSpace on the Mile, has endless ambition. The result does not always convince, but always engrosses.
Crossing The Void
★★★★☆ Spookily real
Crossing The Void, Sally MacAlister’s play for New Celts and koi collective at theSpace on the Mile, hops genres seemingly at will. It ends up as a coherent and sensitive portrayal of very tricky subjects.
Smile (Like You’re Happy)
★★★☆☆ Diffuse
Smile (Like You’re Happy), New Celts and Sparkle Sarcasm’s production at theSpace Triplex, deals with modern and timeless concerns in a way that is often too scattergun to succeed but has considerable emotional resonance.
