Louisa May Alcott's Little Women is a beloved classic, so many of us having read the story of the four sisters during our youth. Every actor perfectly embodies their character, breathing life into the beloved characters with ease. This is clearly a passion project and is a wonderfully realised show.

Hell is Empty and All the Devils are Here
t feels like a prerequisite of gardens plays that it must be a Shakespeare or a Wilde, but typically colleges lean towards comedy rather than something as politically knotted at The Tempest. However, clearly the creative team of the Magdalen Players think differently.
A Little Cloudburst
If there are any tickets remaining, I wholeheartedly recommend seeing this musical. It is a wonderful rendition of the story and an excellent show as a whole. For laughs, fun and a tale that will no doubt tug at the heartstrings, join EMS in Queens College this week.
The Aquarium
This is a story about chasing adventure, the thrill of the possible, and the inevitable fallout that comes with that. Overall this is an excellent piece of theatre, which highlights the talent present in the current generation of Oxford Drama both upon the stage and behind it.
Handbagged
On the whole this is a strong performance, which carries a politically dividing topic with a lightness and humour that hopefully allows those who are do not agree with the slant to nevertheless enjoy themselves. It is a unique and very effective idea and a great night at the theatre.
My Story is You
Ultimately this is a story about family and legacy, dissecting what can tear a family apart and what can reunite them. What could potentially be a hard hitting ride through the challenges of creating a home in a new country becomes an entertaining romp through unusual customer service encounters.
Enter Macbeth
Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most performed plays. So a question must be asked about how this one is different. In the case of Out of Chaos' performance the answer is a two hander. This entire performance is a wonderful lesson in characterisation, acting as a masterclass in creating character.
