Not for the faint hearted but what a fabulously frightening, gloriously grotesque and strangely sexy evening. A thank you letter to Jack – our host. Dear Jack, Despite not knowing what has happened to you since I left your house, when one is invited to a party, it is only polite and correct to sendContinue reading “Review: 5* Screamworks Bloodbath – The Immersive Experience.

Review: 2** Swell Mob – Flabbergast Theatre at the COLAB Factory, London Bridge #theswellmob #flabbergasttheatre #immersivetheatre @FlabbergastT
Immersive theatre is new to me I was therefore very excited to rummage around my wardrobe creating an 1840’s costume looking like a cross between ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘Drucilla’ from ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ (niche reference I know). I was eager to meet ‘The Swell Mob’ described on the press release as ‘an explosive immersiveContinue reading “Review: 2** Swell Mob – Flabbergast Theatre at the COLAB Factory, London Bridge #theswellmob #flabbergasttheatre #immersivetheatre @FlabbergastT”

Review: 4**** Fusion Theatre’s Stories from Around the World at Islington’s Pleasance Theatre @thelondonfusion @TanyaChainey @ThePleasance
There’s always a certain amount of trepidation when one takes a four-year-old to the theatre. A darkened room filled with strangers is not their usual environment.
