Theatre Village – Independent Theatre

We don’t just whisper about independent theatre at Theatre Village—we shout it from the rooftops! Our platform is a loudspeaker for the brave souls behind the curtains and those dazzling in the spotlight.


Forget sugar-coated reviews and flowery language. We deliver honest reviews that pulls no punches. If a performance was as thrilling as watching paint dry, we’ll let you know. We believe in giving credit where credit’s due.

Our mission? To shine a light on those who deserve it most! From backstage wizards who conjure magic out of thin air to actors who can cry on cue (seriously, how do they do that?), we’re here to celebrate EVERYONE in this crazy world of theatre.

If you’ve got a passion for independent theatre you are in the best place.

We have developed a unique 5 star rating system for all reviews from April 2025:

When it comes to rating systems, most of us are used to the classic five-star scale. But let’s be honest—who hasn’t felt like a three-star review was just a bit too generous for that soggy sandwich you had last Tuesday? Enter Theatre Village’s unique five-star rating system, designed to add a sprinkle of fun and a dash of wit to our reviews

1. **It didn’t quite launch from the landing spot**: This is for those experiences that were supposed to be stellar but ended up feeling more like a damp squib. You know, the kind where you expect fireworks but get sparklers instead.

2. **Mission Control: Tweaks needed**: Ah, the old “could’ve been great with just a few adjustments” rating! It’s like when your mate insists they can cook but their idea of seasoning is salt and more salt. A little love could transform this into something truly delightful!

3. **Landed On The Planet And Hits The Right spot**: Now we’re talking! This one’s reserved for those moments that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside—like finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag or realising it’s Friday before 5 PM.

4. **It Flew Past The Moon**: For those rare gems that leave you utterly gobsmacked! Whether it’s an experience that exceeds expectations or dessert so divine it should come with its own fanfare, this is where we celebrate pure brilliance.

5. **Five Stars (wow it is all glittery)**: Sometimes, things are just so good they deserve an arbitrary perfect score—even if it defies logic! Because who doesn’t love throwing caution to the wind every now and then? Also stars , fit into our our space theme going on over here.
