In The Nosebleeds

An amateur review site.

My name’s Maggie. I’m a 20-something Aussie living in London and spending all my money on theatre tickets. This is what I think about theatre (and other stuff).

  • The Giant Killers

    ⭐⭐⭐ Underdog football story is by-the-numbers but will please fans of the genre. 

  • Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder

    ⭐⭐⭐ Whacky crime comedy is a helluva lot of fun, even if it feels a bit like a fringe show. 

  • The Constituent

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deft three-hander shows how good people can end up in toxic conflict.

  • The Glass Menagerie

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emmerling and Somerville shine, finding tenderness and heartbreak in this worthy adaptation of a classic.

  • For Black Boys

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Calais Cameron earns his place in the literary canon with this beautifully written, beautifully human show.

  • My five-star musicals

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favourites from across the years.

  • Nye

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sheen stars in love letter to the NHS.

  • The Government Inspector

    ⭐⭐ A good cast has to strain to get laughs as this unpolished adaptation wastes its source material.

  • Baby Reindeer

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This unflinching, compelling story rises above a simple stalker thriller to become a complex character study.

  • Scoop

    ⭐⭐⭐ Retelling of the infamous royal interview is watchable but adds little insight.
