From its beginnings at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, SIX has become a global musical hit that has no trouble filling seats in a time when some are struggling, proving that its blend of history, humour and pop spectacle has a force far beyond novelty. There’s plenty of merchandise on offer too, and many mini queens darted about the auditorium. Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, who also co-directs with Jamie Armitage, the premise is smart and simple.

RMS Titanic, the largest ocean liner at the time, was on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City when she struck an iceberg at 11.40pm on 14 April 2012. With insufficient lifeboats, just 710 survived and around 1,500 people drowned when the ship sank 2 hours 40 minutes later. As  topical as ever, 114 years later, the legendary story continues to be retold in books, documentaries, movies and musicals.

I saw Lizzy Sunshine on the last day of the Fringe, I had intended to see several shows that day after watching Liz Coin give the performance of a lifetime I knew that this had to be the show to end my Fringe - everything else would pale in comparison.

Twin staircases, shimmering gowns, a gleaming swimming pool and a live band poised for action: Rachel Kavanaugh’s lavish production of High Society sweeps onto the Playhouse stage dressed to dazzle.

Stage adaptations of beloved screen and literary titles are now a regular presence across UK theatre, but they remain a delicate balancing act. Lean too heavily on nostalgia and the result can feel like a tribute act; stray too far from the source and audiences may wonder why it was adapted at all. The Silence of the Lambs, newly staged by Gina Gionfriddo and directed by Nikolai Foster, understands that challenge.

Upon entering the room I'm given a pen and paper an asked to write one thing I'd like to "do better", there's only a moment before the show is due to begin to I write the first thing that comes to mind, a clever idea that is later on revealed in a magic trick, but also putting the audience in the right frame of mind for Do Better: A Dramagedy to begin. Izzy Salant is charismatic and obviously shines in the spotlight, even when sharing the most harrowing moments of his childhood with us.

Usually, a club is something you want to join, even perhaps have to apply to get to be a part of, but Kate Daley's Join the Club! A Story About the Sex You Never Wanted is the opposite; it's a club that no one wants to be a part of and yet, almost every woman has paid her membership dues at least one time. Performed in a perfectly intimate room, Daley's autobiographical solo piece explores modern dating, consent, trauma and survival through her Gen Z perspective.
