A ‘ROMEO AND JULIET’ THAT LIVES IN YOUR HEAD LONG AFTER THE CURTAIN FALLS
When you watch a theatre show and you are completely absorbed in the production, thinking of nothing else, it becomes something special. This is one of those shows that I will think about for a long time. Watching Romeo and Juliet at the Harold Pinter Theatre felt like that kind of experience. For me, William Shakespeare is a hit and miss…
HARRY POTTER TRAILER: WHERE HAS THE MAGIC GONE?
First things first. The Harry Potter film franchise was an integral part of my childhood, and this HBO-produced, mega-budget TV series feels too soon and too familiar to justify its own existence. The trailer landed yesterday and, while it doesn’t look bad on a technical level, the ghosts of its predecessors haunt every frame. It…
“PEAKY BLINDERS: THE IMMORTAL MAN” – A STYLISH, IMPERFECT BUT FITTING FINALE
From 2013 to 2022, Peaky Blinders, created by Steven Knight, dominated TV’s crime drama landscape with its distinctive style and unforgettable characters. At the heart of it all was Birmingham’s Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), a war-scarred anti-hero who rose from the trauma of the First World War trenches to lead his family’s Romani-traveller crime empire. Despite his…
“I SWEAR”: THE WEIGHT OF WORDS AND WHAT LIES BENEATH
After watching the BAFTAs, it’s hard to ignore how nuanced and complicated this situation really is. There was a strong and justified condemnation of the slur itself but when Alan Cumming read a quickly prepared statement it all felt a bit rushed and thoughtless. He said at the end, “we apologised if you were offended,” it…
‘THE OTHER BENNET SISTER’: UNEVEN, BUT WORTH THE WAIT
Most people tend to write off Mary Bennet from Pride and Prejudice as the awkward, slightly irritating sister, but The Other Bennet Sister offers something far more thoughtful. Here, Mary is given real depth, and much of that comes down to Ella Bruccoleri’s performance. She plays her with quiet intelligence and curiosity, and there’s a subtle wit to her…
I LOVE LOUIS THEROUX — BUT ‘INSIDE THE MANOSPHERE’ LEFT ME FRUSTRATED
I normally love a Louis Theroux documentary. His interview style is usually brilliant: he asks a quiet question, gives someone just enough rope, and then waits while they slowly tie themselves in knots on camera. It’s awkward, patient, and oddly polite and more often than not it works. Part of the frustration with Louis Theroux: Inside…
DREAMS, DICKENS AND NEW YORK: LOUISE BERESFORD ON THE JOURNEY OF “DAVID COPPERFIELD”
In early 2026, Guildford Shakespeare Company staged a bold new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield at Holy Trinity Church in Guildford. The high-spirited production, performed by just three actors, ran from Friday 6th to Saturday 28th February before preparing to make its international debut in New York later this year as part of the Brits Off…

Gary Hilborn appears in five episodes of the new season of The Night Agent as Trent Patterson, the Head of the Secret Service at the White House. A seasoned actor with deep roots in theatre and a growing slate of screen and writing projects, Hilborn brings authority, warmth, and lived-in authenticity to every role he takes on….

If you’re looking for your next binge-worthy thriller, 56 Days is a must-watch. This isn’t just another crime drama. It’s a distinctive, tightly wound mystery wrapped inside a riveting, sexy psychological thriller the kind that makes you promise yourself one more episode and then immediately ignore that promise. The series opens with a grim discovery inside Apartment…
POLLY: A 21st CENTURY LOVE STORY – A WORKSHOP FULL OF HEART AND HUGE POTENTIAL
I was kindly invited by Chloe Nelkin Consulting to attend the workshop performance of a New queer musical Polly: A 21st Century Love Story at The Other Palace Studio and what a brilliant atmosphere to walk into. The studio was absolutely packed, which already felt like a promising sign. There’s something exciting about being in…
