C Aquila
For Better, For Worse
★★★☆☆ Truthful
For Better, For Worse from PenPal Productions at C aquila is largely successful at combining a family comedy with the wider world, in a way that many have found too difficult to pull off in the past.
Photon StarBlaster and the Suicidal Spaceship
★★★★☆ Seriously creative
Bonnie and Braw’s Photon StarBlaster and the Suicidal Spaceship at C aquila shows a wonderfully large heart, and boundless imagination, in its exploration of difficult themes.
Shakespeare For Breakfast / Shakespeare Up Late: A Right Royal Visit
★★★☆☆ Charming and ★★★☆☆ Chaotic
C Theatre have two contrasting reworkings of the Bard in Shakespeare for Breakfast at C aurora and Shakespeare Up Late – A Right Royal Visit at C aquila. While there are differences in tone and intent between the two productions, they are not as marked as might be imagined.
Company
★★★★☆ Vibrant
EU Footlights burst onto the tiny upstairs stage of the Roman Eagle Lodge with a gloriously effective production of Company for one week only, running to Sunday August 14.
Lucille and Cecilia
★★★☆☆ Extreme aquatics:
Gleeful physical comedy features in Lucille and Cecilia, a patchy but intriguingly promising piece from new company Bang Average Theatre at C Aquila.
Hymns For Robots
★★★☆☆ Electronic dream:
Hymns For Robots, Noctium Theatre’s portrait of electronic music innovator Delia Derbyshire, is an appealingly winsome piece of theatre.
