OUDS New Writing Festival 2019 – A Roundup

A summary by their writers of the plays which are part of this year's OUDS New Writing Festival.

Preview: Skin a Cat – an interview with playwright Isley Lynn

"The final scene I saw – a relentless, breezy epiphany, beautifully handled in all its profanity by Tupper – emphasises this point more than any: it’s about 'creating your own metric for your own happiness'."

Review: Waiting for Gary – ‘surpasses the Beckettian classic’

High praise given to Waiting for Gary for its emotional truth underlying the humour

Review: The Oxford Revue Newcomers’ Show ‘Scrapped’ – ‘ridiculous, witty, and hilarious’

"No description, no plot summary can do justice to this highly eclectic and wonderfully unpredictable piece of theatre"

Review: Pirandello’s Henry IV – ‘earnest production let down by a dull script’

A Tom Stoppard translation of an Italian play is convincing and confusing in equal measure

Skin a Cat Review – ‘rethinks simplistic sexual narratives’

Britomart Productions' honest exploration of female sexuality is on at the BT Studio until Saturday.

The Pitchfork Disney Review – ‘reality and morality is blown apart to become a nightmare’

"From the moment you step into this play the direct ‘in-yer-face’ nature of the performance is abundantly clear."

The Admirable Crichton Review – ‘a light-hearted antidote to eighth week’

Simone Fraser finds Corpus Christi Owlets' new production to be effective comic relief in eighth week.

Salome Review – ‘struggles to take audience into another world’

Tea Party Productions' 'Salome' shows the play's continuing power to unsettle

Citizenship Review – ‘witty, thoughtful and true-to-life’

Ami Griffiths is impressed by a direct but deft portrayal of bisexuality.

Dining Al Desko review – ‘pure tragicomedy’

Alastair Curtis' intertwined monologues tease out the humour and poignancy of office life

The Lonesome West review – ‘a pressure-cooker of rage and almost-erupting violence’

Practically Peter Production give an impressive rendering of Martin McDonagh's dark comedy

Like A Virgin review – ‘the range of relationship difficulties explored is certainly impressive’

Sam Moore's play about the complexities of relationships finds resonance with audiences of all kinds

Anything but a simple fairy-tale
