I was already a fan of Labyrinth and the work that they have done, but this solidifies this and leaves me curious to see where they go next. From the projection to the stylised finish, there is no denying the effort, thought and passion that has gone into this project.

And That Was That
Gary Clarke's Detention is a moving and captivating piece of dance based on the queer experience of 1980s Britain under Section 28. Over the span of ninety minutes, a series of scenes bring to life different experiences from different age groups, stitching together a comprehensive picture of the times.
Emotion. Connection. Growth
Half art installation, half two-hander, Natascha Norton's new play Crocodile Tears presents the fractured world of a broken relationship through the mediums of theatre and cinema. Through this strange blending of mediums the audience is allowed to gain an insight into a relationship, piecing together the story little by little.
Dressed In My Name
This is of the short and sweet variety of garden plays, leaning into the whimsey and literary history existing within the hallowed walls of Merton College. Entering into the familiar discourse of women in classical times, this play is not too politically minded.
All The Dead Men
Unfortunately there are some moments within the play where one is inclined to argue that the translation needs a little more work. It's a pity that the script itself falters at times, as I can't help but wonder how the play may have been different with some structural edits.
Good Evening My Fellow Citizens
Was this the sort of show that I could see having a life at Fringe? Absolutely! Watching the final night of the short run did not feel like the end, but rather the end of the first chapter in this musical's journey. For now, colour me impressed.
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.
Not Mozart This Time
So, it's just been that time of year again... the time of year where I find myself wondering around in black tie, camera in hand while opera chaos descends. It's been a year of new exec, a new composer and an almost whole new cast... almost.
