The Greatest Play in the History of the World
Does it live up to its claim?
Your Union is Standing Firm
A tale of failed delivery (and I’m not talking about MacDuff). Maybe an early abortion would’ve been kinder.
Is It Art if Everybody Hates It?
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But what if there is a universal concensus that an artist’s product is bad? Does aesthetic value mean nothing? Laura Casas attempts to unravel this conundrum...
Amelie: A Warm Hug in this Cruel World
Despite being a Broadway flop, Amelie charms and stuns on the London stage by re-igniting some of the Parisian charm from the original movie
The Tiger Will See You Now
4 stars I live with medics, and from the way they go on, one could be forgiven for thinking that the last thing that any of them want is to be a doctor. Which is why it is so funny that the ICSM medics chose to put on Tiger Country
Shook: Becoming a Father Behind Bars
5 stars Shook is as close to a perfect play that I think I have ever seen. Set in a prison classroom, three convicts, all with pregnant girlfriends, are receiving lessons on how to be fathers. Opening with rapid wit and banter the play first comes across as an entertaining
Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Comedy Club
2 stars Between November and December of every year, Winter Wonderland opens its doors to Londoners and tourists alike as one of the most visited attractions.

Touching the Void Review
4 stars Based on Joe Simpson’s mountaineering memoir and adapted by David Greig, Touching the Void is a story about the adventures of Joe and Simon to Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. As the double meaning of the title infers, the significant factor of the play are the
Leonardo: A journey through Da Vinci’s mind
Leonardo Da Vinci was a man ahead of his time; only he could bring his brushstrokes & muted pencil shading to life. The exhibition, which opened in November at the National Gallery allows the public to have an immersive Da Vinci experience, unveiling hidden sketch & fingerprints. Although Da Vinci’
La Clique: A Cabaret Show
4.5 stars Underbelly’s vaudeville cabaret show, La Clique has finally returned to London after ten years of coasting in Spiegeltents across UK, now offering a magnificent, jaw-dropping and titillating escapade. Bernie Dieter’s vivifying performance is somehow both salubrious and salacious, promising an unpredictable host of performances: some
Imperial College DramSoc Presents: 11 Miles
4 stars Based on the real journal entries, 11 Miles follows Captain Scott’s journey to the South Pole with his four companions: Evans, Wilson, Bowers, and Oates. The audience comes to understand the meaning behind “11 miles” during the play as they hear about the tragedies that struck the
