Wolfe in the Wings

The Big Bad Wolf

Lyric Hammersmith Review 26th September 2026 Big Bad Wolf at the Lyric Hammersmith, correctly billed as…

4/5. Strong performances illuminate London’s night workers in a complex but hopeful drama.

4.5/5…gloriously silly, unashamedly raunchy adult pantomime… with sharp innuendo and spectacular musical talent.

4/5. A tense, absorbing D-Day drama anchored by Andrew Scott’s beautifully restrained performance, despite occasional excess.

3.5/5. Sumptuous staging, commanding performances and exhilarating choreography make up for an uneven score.

4.5/5. A gloriously daft horror spoof bursting with cracking jokes, clever clowning and inventive theatrical tricks.

5/5. Exceptional clowning and superb character work fuel a hilarious exploration of myth and misinformation.

4/5. An engaging queer teen romance wrapped in religious horror, turning intimacy into danger.

5/5. A heartfelt country-rock musical bursting with superb songs, outstanding performances and toe-tapping energy.

5/5. A thrilling queer Shakespeare reimagining with sparkling verse, gritty intensity and emotional power.
