Review: YOU ARE GOING TO DIE, Southwark Playhouse

A show dripping in pretension performed by a naked man? An impenetrable work obsessed with having a sex toy deep inside one’s backside? A meditation on “existential anxiety” that does little of note with an hour of precious life? There’s enough irony in You Are Going To Die to power an Alanis Morissette comeback, and then some.

Review: COWBOIS, Royal Court Theatre

All in all, Cowbois isn’t a bad play. It’s a fun and gimmicky queer-affirming semi-comedy that makes for a good night out if you’re willing to close an eye here and there. It’s weird and long, but it means well.

Charlie Josephine's COWBOIS Will Transfer to London; Full Cast Revealed

Review: COWBOIS, Swan Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon

Cowbois might sound like a reboot of Sister Act but there is far more going under the satin bonnets. Gunslinger Jack Cannon (Vinnie Heaven) arrives in a small Wild West-era outpost, handsome by appearance, fearsome by reputation and with a bounty of 200 dollars on their head. The town is populated only by women and a drunken sheriff (Paul Hunter), their menfolk having been gone for over a year and presumed dead after a mine blast. 

Cast Revealed For COWBOIS, A New Queer Cowboy Show For The RSC by Charlie Josephine

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: LUCY AND FRIENDS, Pleasance Courtyard

Watching Lucy and Friends is how I imagine a halluncinatory drug trip. From smothering her body with tomato puree to exposing naked truths (literally) to maiming a piñata and cutting a strip-pole with a disc saw, Lucy challenges the limits of art in an absurd combination of comedy, theatre and performance installations.

Review Roundup: TITUS ANDRONICUS at Shakespeare's Globe

Read the reviews for Titus Andronicus at Shakespeare's Globe.

Review: TITUS ANDRONICUS, Shakespeare's Globe

Jude Christian's visually stunning take on this goriest of stories from Shakespeare is bound to raise more than a few eyebrows. In a gender reversal of what likely took place on its first outing, this production has an all-female cast committing the heinous murders. The many, many deaths are portrayed by candles being snuffed out. This may be set in ancient Rome, but the dress code here is pyjamas and, in place of lyres and pan pipes, the music here consists mainly of darkly comic songs. A classic interpretation? Hardly
