Danny Lee Wynter’s BLACK SUPERHERO throws up some fascinating debates at the Royal Court
“I ain’t the one on other side of the planet chasin some grown-arse fuck-boy who pretends to fly about in latex for a livin”
Danny Lee Wynter’s debut play BLACK SUPERHERO arrives at the Royal Court with a swish of a cape, ripped abs aplenty and the tightest of black latex underwear. As a study of Black and queer masculinity, it has a lot to say, almost too much at times, but Wynter’s way with a killer one-liner is an absolute saving grace which makes this raucously entertaining at times.

Flabbergast Theatre’s impressionistic treatment of Macbeth might alarm purists but also contains some moments of real beauty at Southwark Playhouse
“Are you a man?”
From the moment you walk into Southwark Playhouse’s Large space, you know that this isn’t going to be your average Macbeth. Caked in dried-out grey mud, the company already occupy the space in a frenzy of mime and movement, a pre-echo of what is to come, an unnerving scene-setting. And as Flabbergast Theatre’s work begins, it doesn’t really resolve into anything more conventional either.
A devised take on Shakespeare’s tragedy, thi ..read more

Vicky McClure and Johnny Harris lead psychological drama Without Sin through its depressive gloom
“I think I know who took her”
Without Sin premiered on ITVX at the end of last year and since everyone should love a bit of Vicky McClure, that’s no bad thing. And Without Sin isn’t a bad thing either, it’s just that I’m not sure Frances Poletti’s four-part conspiracy thriller is a particularly great one either, it just putters along in a slightly-too-familiar manner.
McClure plays Stella, a taxi driver from Nottingham, whose life was understandably shattered by the murder of her teenage daughter ..read more

ELOINA’s Week 1 hit HIGH STEAKS returns to close out the VAULT Festival
“What about the outside?”
I missed the award-winning HIGH STEAKS in VAULT’s first week this year, so the opportunity to catch its return in its final week was one I found hard to resist after some strong recommendations. Truth be told, the idea of a show about labia-shaming and cosmetic labiaplasty hadn’t really appealed to me, a certain squeamishness creeping in for this completely unexplored area for me.
But where else are you going to test your boundaries but in the dark and dank spaces under Waterloo Station and since ..read more
