Star ratings (out of five)Oliver Twist ★★★★I Think We Are Alone ★★★Women Beware Women ★★, • Oliver Twist is at Leeds Playhouse until 21 March• I Think We Are Alone is at Stratford East, London, until 21 March• Women Beware Women is at Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, London, until 18 April. “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” It’s a quotation from Scots poet Ian McLaren, now being misattributed to Plato on Instagram feeds everywhere. She spends as much time as she can embracing the theatre that London has to offer, whether that be working front of house in the West End’s most acclaimed venues, or returning endlessly to her favourite shows for a taste of theatre nostalgia.

It was simply another feather in Frantic Assembly’s hat, and with the co-direction of Kathy Burke, it gives this company a revolutionary take on contemporary theatre that can do nothing but inspire and entertain the masses. It is a production that made me realise how much of the time a sighted, hearing audience is experiencing only two- dimensional theatre. With a shows team bringing together the minds of Scott Graham, Kathy Burke and Sally Abbott, you know that you are in for a spectacle when seeing what they have created.

With all the gusto and wonders of a classic Frantic Assembly production, ‘I Think We Are Alone’ takes its audiences on an emotional, uplifting and heart-breaking journey (yep, it somehow manages all three all at the same time) through the lives of seven characters living independent streams of life, telling their stories and bringing you into their world where it is revealed that their paths are not so separate after all. Share: “Only connect”, to borrow E M Forster’s phrase, is the obvious message of Frantic Assembly’s 25 th anniversary production. Joanna Scotcher’s design manages with sleek economy to bring the gloss of Trump Towers to the Sam Wanamaker, but what would be startling – upskirting!
