Constellations

Constellations

★★★☆☆ Needs more variety

There is a clever idea behind Constellations from ZOE and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile. Unfortunately, it is that very idea that prevents it from working as well as it might as a piece of theatre in this production.

Pool (no water)

Pool (no water)

★★★☆☆ Patchy

Pool (no water) from New Celts and Oddly Ordinary reaches high in its intent. The end result is decidedly mixed, with elements that impress and others that infuriate.

Hemmed In

Hemmed In

✭✭✩✩✩ Too limited:
There are some highly promising singers in New Celts and Lost Lock’s all-female musical Hemmed In, who are given real chances to shine in a production that is otherwise hampered by callowness and naïveté.
