From the pen of one of the world’s greatest thriller writers, Ruth Rendell (writing as Barbara Vine), comes a tale of kidnap and murder (eventually!). When Joe was saved from the path of a London tube, it wasn’t without consequence – his rescuer, Sandor, told him “your life belongs to me”. Taking advantage of Joe’sContinue reading “Review: 2** Gallowglass – Norwich Theatre Royal – @MGTheatreCo @TheatreRNorwich”

Review: 3*** for newbies. 4**** for fans. Steptoe and Son Museum of Comedy @museumofcomedy
Steptoe and Son, for those unaware (as I was), was a long-running British television show active from 1962-65, and again from 1970-74. I must admit that whilst not the biggest fan of the genre, (if I wanted to listen to barely comprehensible Cockneys, I could just go see my family) the show was aContinue reading “Review: 3*** for newbies. 4**** for fans.

But first – here is an overview of theContinue reading “Interview: Joe Ball, the Director of Revolution and Artistic Director of Exit Productions @VaultFestival @exitprodu @Kraydius”
Review: 3*** Austen the musical at Mirth, Marvel and Maud @MirthMarvelE17 @AustenMusical
When I was offered the opportunity to review Austen the musical, I approached the evening with hesitancy and intrigue. Hesitancy, because I’m always a little tentative when it comes to musicals –I’ve just never been a fan off all-singing narratives. And intrigue, because I had a chance to learn a little bit more about theContinue reading “Review: 3*** Austen the musical at Mirth, Marvel and Maud @MirthMarvelE17 @AustenMusical”
Review: 5***** The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time @curiousonstage @marlowetheatre
#tweeting it: 5***** An emotional, poignant and, in parts, funny portrayal of the struggles of people with autism. This production is astonishing The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, adapted for stage by Simon Stephens from Mark Haddon’s mystery novel, is very much a work about obsessions. The more obvious of these obsessionsContinue reading “Review: 5***** The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time @curiousonstage @marlowetheatre”
Review:5***** Briefs @LdnWonderground @Briefsfactory
#Tweetingit – 5***** Naked men cavorting around the stage thrusting and gyrating + filthy jokes – alright then! This is the fourth time around for this Briefs show – although you would never know it. The boys bring back their own particular brand of male burlesque to the UK. Wonder Ground on the South BankContinue reading “Review:5***** Briefs @LdnWonderground @Briefsfactory”
Review: 5***** Sister @ovalhouse
The Ovalhouse has been a part of the London theatre scene for over 50 years, and is patronised by people such as Pierce Brosnan. But with shows like Sister being being performed here, it doesn’t need the famous names to draw people in. Sister is the new play by Born Mad, a theatre company led byContinue reading “Review: 5***** Sister @ovalhouse”

Interview: Suz Mountfort and Kerry Adamson @gingerline @ChambersofFlav
I was lucky enough to get a few minutes with Gingerline’s creators to ask how they go about what they do. Im also even more lucky to be able to say that tonight I am off to a taster session of the newest installment of Chambers of Flavour – a multi dimensional immersive foodContinue reading “Interview: Suz Mountfort and Kerry Adamson @gingerline @ChambersofFlav”
Review: 4**** The Unreachable @royalcourt #mattsmith
The play begins with a Matt Smith voiceover to a single actress, Natasha, in a beam of light. We are told that she will be reading a monologue for the final scene of a film. In the rare moments when the play is serious, the imagery is excellent and the bathos presented by the repetitionContinue reading “Review: 4**** The Unreachable @royalcourt #mattsmith”
