Craig T.’s reacts

First-class improv / comedy. When queuing to enter, the audience votes on the era they want it set in. The show then starts with the star asking the audience for suggestions on what to include (e.g. people or events from the era). The next 55 mins is slent telling a hilarious story / singing songs built on these prompts. Hugely talented singer/ comedian & musicians. Recommended.

I went to this show as a WW2 history buff who rarely considers LGBT+ issues & was sceptical of the musical format. I really enjoyed the show. It covered a rarely discussed part of WW2 history: the persecution of gay men in concentration camps and the post-war denial that they were victims of the Nazi's due to anti-homosexual laws (so they were one of few groups to be denied compensation). The show was raw, insightful, largely accurate, and non-preachy. Strongly recommended for history buffs.

A wonderfully acted and poignant one-hander about an aging Shakespearian actor who is auditioning for the role of King Lear whilst battling the earliest stages of dementia. Nice nods to other Shakespeare plays throughout. Tucked away in a small theatre within the Star venue, this is a true hidden gem that deserves attention from drama-lovers.

An acting masterclass! I watch a large number of theatre shows each year, from small one-hander Fringe shows to large productions. Very few shows leave a lasting impression, but this one will. The acting was on-par with that in Mark Thomas' England and Son from last year's Fringe. Well done to the team who put this excellent together.

A light-hearted, funny, and heartfelt show where the actor, with a little help from the audience, re-enacts key scenes from Chaplin's movies and life. Worth checking out, even if you know very little about Charlie Chaplin. Regards, the policeman ;-)
