Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of) is a great reminder to keep supporting fringe theatre - it's wonderful to see this show still going strong and selling well in large touring houses like Mayflower Theatre!

Here the story is told by the servants with the help of a multitude of costume changes and some karaoke classics. The small cast of five work overtime but have such great chemistry and brilliant comedic timing.

It's been a few years since I last saw Isobel McArthur's re-telling of Jane Austin's classic novel in the hilarious Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of), and I forget just how funny it is! (AD)

Rambert Dance in Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby is much more than just a dance show. It's a high-octane, visceral production with exciting choreography and a fully live (and loud) band playing an epic score. One of my favourite dance productions I've ever seen (AD) @mayflower.org.uk
