Some films grab your attention from the first frame, and others quietly sneak into your heart Saving Mr. Banks does both. It’s one of those rare gems that feels comforting and heartbreaking all at once. Every time I watch it, I end up crying not because it’s tragic, but because it’s so beautifully human. It reminds…
“I’ll Be Back.” When Arnold Schwarzenegger first uttered those now-iconic words, “I’ll be back,” the audience at London’s Eventim Apollo erupted into spontaneous applause and cheers of delight.

Every so often, a theatre year comes along that reminds me exactly why I fell in love with live performance in the first place. This has been one of those years. From intimate two-handers to jaw-dropping spectacle, I’ve laughed, held my breath, and been completely floored more times than I can count. Narrowing it down…
When I heard Nobody Wants This was getting a second season, I wasn’t convinced it needed one and after watching, I’m still not.
