Briefly coming back here to remind y'all that I'm co-directing a queer version of Romeo & Juliet (original text but they're lesbians) for @KelvinPlayers in Bristol at end of June/start of July. Get your tickets while you still you can! ticketsource.co.uk/.../romeo…

It's that most magical time of year when people start spitting their food in indignation about their gods-given British right to scream-sing a slur that I've more than once had yelled at me in the street when I was just walking with a friend.

#REVIEW: ‘Squires’ the Squires lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘Squires’ the Squires

(Spoilers may feature) There’s a lot of potential and talent to be found in this show. I don’t think all of that talent is used as well as it could have been but nevertheless, it remains fun.

#REVIEW: ‘The Kids Might Die (A Tale Told By an Idiot)’ by Young and Wise Theatre Co. (@jillisyoung) lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘The Kids Might Die (A Tale Told By an Idiot)’ by Young and Wise Theatre Co.

(Spoilers may feature) Who knew the impending demise of children could be so side-splitting? This solo show depicts a drama teacher desperately trying to keep a youth theatre production of Macbeth …

#REVIEW: ‘Reflections Upon an Ugly Little Soul’ by Alex Macfarlane lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘Reflections Upon an Ugly Little Soul’ by Alex Macfarlane

(Spoilers may feature) A powerful piece of spoken word poetry, that delves into myriad notions and contradictions that twist through self-perception and mental health.

REVIEW: ‘Shapiro: A Pop Star Musical’ by Kingdom Theatre Company

(Spoilers may feature) I confess myself woefully unfamiliar with the life and wider oeuvre of Helen Shapiro (a fact which shocked my mum when I admitted it). Even for one so uninitiated, this was a…

#REVIEW: ‘13th Morning’ by BT Hayes lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘13th Morning’ by BT Hayes

(Spoilers may feature) “You ever see a real big fish?”. I’ll tell you what I did see: a damn great little show. I say “little” not in the patronising sense but just in that this is performed in suc…

#REVIEW: ‘Dead Animals’ by KP Productions (@DeadAnimalsPlay) 3.5* lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘Dead Animals’ by KP Productions

(Spoilers may feature) This is quite a cosy and mesmerising play. Atmospheric in its execution and intelligently written.

#REVIEW: ‘Corpse Flower’ by Threepenny Collective 4* lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘Corpse Flower’ by Threepenny Collective

(Spoilers may feature) Tantalisingly bizarre. A discordant and disquieting symphony of the Strange.

#REVIEW: ‘Take Me to Your Leader’ by Headrush Theatre and New Celts Productions (@headrushtheatre) 4.5* lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘Take Me to Your Leader’ by Headrush Theatre and New Celts Productions

(Spoilers may feature) A charmingly whacky mix of Sci-Fi and Socialism (two easy routes to my heart), this play is a delightful little comic escapade. It asks a question that the moral philosophers…

#REVIEW: ‘We Used to Be Girl Scouts' by Hey Thanks! Theatre Collective and New Celts Productions (@heythanks_co) 4.5* lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘We Used to Be Girl Scouts’ by Hey Thanks! Theatre Collective and New Celts Productions

(Spoilers may feature) This play is full of rage, fear, and joy. And it’s really quite lovely. Tapping into the universality of being young and uncertain of what you want from the world in its own …

#REVIEW: ‘Would You Like a Bag?’ by Red Lentil Playhouse lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘Would You Like a Bag?’ by Red Lentil Playhouse

(Spoilers may feature) A lovely little snapshot into the compellingly chaotic intertwined lives of eight students. This is a play about moments in time, some mundane, others pivotal.

#REVIEW: ‘Ghost Light’ by Orange Works 3.5* lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘Ghost Light’ by Orange Works

(Spoilers may feature) A ghost story by lamplight, ‘Ghost Light’ is an impressive piece of staging and an engrossing bit of storytelling.

#REVIEW: ‘LITTLE DEATHS’ by Nuthatch and Scissor Kick (@ScissorKickCo) 5* lexicallunacy.wordpress.com/… #EdFringe #EdFringeReviews

REVIEW: ‘LITTLE DEATHS’ by Nuthatch and Scissor Kick

(Spoilers may feature) A beautifully bittersweet chronicle of a decades-long friendship dying many deaths, this play captures how fierce and life-altering platonic love can be.
