LUKE HEPPENSTALL-WEST is sickeningly positive about a show that blew him away despite being totally extravagent
CONSTANCE CHAPMAN has a whale of a time at the Footlights Spring Revue, and this time they’ve gone old school.
MOLLY O’CONNOR is impressed by the good parts of The Weir, but sees a few rough edges.
WILL KENNAWAY investigates the students who dare to mix revision with line-learning.

ABI BENNETT calls out ‘minimalism born of laziness’, but sees some potential for this show to overcome jitters and confusion.
