With a book written by the British creators, Ben Adams singer of the boy band A1 and writer and actor Chris Wilkins, Eugenius! creates the kind of vibe I experienced in seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show on stage at a former cinema in the King's Road, Chelsea in the early 1970s. It wasn't just the rock music, the gloriously over the top performances and costumes but the humour that was so delightful and I get the same feeling from Eugenius!.

Mike Bartlett is well on his way to becoming established as our best living British playwright. I see only Tom Stoppard as his competition. Twelve years ago, this was his first play, not published until 2011 by Methuen as a part of the first collection of Mike Bartlett plays but Not Talking had never been produced onstage until James Hillier of Defibrillator proposed it.

Arinzé Kene has written and performs Misty a play that it is difficult to categorise but is all the more stimulating for this. It feels like poetry as he describes the urban landscape of London with its creeping gentrification for which Kene uses the metaphor of an invasion of viruses into the human body.
