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.

✭✭✩✩✩ Amusing romp
Charlotte Productions provide a quirky take on WW2 rationing at the Vault on Merchant Street in a production which could do with tightening up a tad.

The Gentleman’s Stratagem – Review

★★★☆☆ Mannered

Subverting and reinterpreting old work seems to be a speciality of young company Charlotte Productions and Gentleman’s Stratagem, at the Vaults all week, is a fine example of that.

Review – Love and Friendship

Review – Love and Friendship

✭✭✭✩✩ Delicious trifle

Brimming with overplayed emotions and inappropriate attitudes, Laura Witz’ adaptation of Jane Austen’s early epistolary novel – Love and Freindship – is an utter treat.

Review – Goblin’s Story

Review – Goblin’s Story

★★★☆☆ Winsome and frabjous:

Clever and articulate, Laura Witz’s creation of a back-story for Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market makes for a quirky and satisfying hour of theatre.
