Review: La Ronde, The Bunker Theatre by Camilla Gurtler

Review: Cautionary Tales for Daughters, Jermyn Street Theatre by Camilla Gurtler

Review: Anastasia, Royal Opera House by Camilla Gurtler

The story of Anastasia and her presumed flight from the slaughtering of the Tsar family is a modern fairy-tale that has stayed with me since childhood. I grew up on the hope she made it out …

Review: A Conversation with Dystonia, Sadler’s Wells by Camilla Gurtler

Review: Oil, Almeida Theatre by Camilla Gurtler

Review: Light, Battersea Arts Centre by Camilla Gurtler

Our obsessive use of technology, the freedom of the internet and our persistence to control planet seems to send us down the path of an Orwellian future. A future where totalitarianism rule,…

Review: A Beckettesque Play, Bread and Roses Theatre by Camilla Gurtler

It’s hard to define experimental theatre in a world where everything has been done before. Like an over-used Rubik’s cube where most combinations have been explored, and still we have no…

Review: Lost in Blue, Roundhouse by Camilla Gurtler

It’s amazing how little we need to create vivid stories in our minds. That we can create worlds and people from pages in a book, from the sound of someone’s voice or the look in …

Review: Doctor Faustus, Duke of York’s Theatre by Camilla Gurtler

Review: Kings of War, Barbican by Camilla Gurtler

Sensible people would probably say that 4.5 hours of Dutch Shakespeare is too much sand to swallow on a Friday night. Let alone a compilation of his history plays that with the connotations …

Review: The Suicide, National Theatre by Camilla Gurtler

Review: Beacons, Park Theatre by Camilla Gurtler

Review: The Encounter, Barbican by Camilla Gurtler

It’s not too bold to say that The Encounter is out of this world. Simon McBurney’s one-man show is simply like nothing you’ve ever experienced. And it is a total experience – it does…
