A “sitcom about the menopause” might turn some people off, but they’d be missing one of the most vital, brilliant British comedies in years. This is not just for us overheating women, it makes room for everyone curious to look at things in a different way. Read full review

The Change strides purposefully towards its culmination, in a revamped, gender-balanced version of the village’s annual festival.

The Change is a funny show with a simple premise, which works mostly because of Bridget Christie’s winning performance. Read full review
