Erin Elkin
Seven Dwarves
✭✭✭✩✩ Inventive retread:
Subverting the Princess myth is common currency in contemporary fairy-story retreads. Subverting the Hero myth is another thing all-together – at least to the extent that Charlotte productions take it at the Vault this week.
Soldier Box
✭✭✭✩✩ Brave but uneven
Visually impressive and with considerable raw energy, Soldier Box is a promising production let down by some problems in adaptation.
First Class
★★★☆☆ Train of thought:
Cleverly crafted and emotionally realistic, writer and director James Beagon’s show is always interesting even if it ultimately falls short in some areas.
