Few shows manage to improve on a strong first season, but A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder somehow does exactly that. Season 2 is darker, smarter and far more emotionally gripping than what came before. What began as a compelling teen mystery has evolved into something much more intense, delivering a story that feels mature, unsettling and…

A HIDDEN GEM IN HAMMERSMITH: WHY AN ‘IDEAL HUSBAND’ DESERVES A BIGGER STAGE
There’s something really exciting about stumbling across a production that completely surprises you, and that’s exactly what happened with An Ideal Husband at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.

OFF CAMPUS REVIEW: OVERHYPED? YES. WORTH WATCHING? ALSO YES.
I need to talk about the Off Campus hype. If your social media feed looks anything like mine, you would think this show has single-handedly reinvented romance television. It has not. That said, I do not want to be unfair, because Off Campus is genuinely enjoyable, it just has not quite earned the level of…

What would you do if your fiancée revealed, in front of your friends during wedding preparations, the worst thing they had ever done?

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…
‘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…

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…
BRIDGERTON’S NEW SEASON, PART ONE: DESIRE, DISGUISE, AND THE COST OF BEING SEEN
Bridgerton is back, and this season arrives with intention. Yes, it’s sexy. Yes, the chemistry is undeniable. But beyond the fan frenzy and viral clips, part one of the new season feels like a story about visibility who gets to be seen, who remains hidden, and what it costs to want more. Compared to last season,…
FROM WIZARDING WORLDS TO BUS ROUTES: JOSH SHEA ON THE QUIET MAGIC OF FILMMAKING
Filmmaking often looks glamorous from the outside the finished frames, the festival screenings, the cinematic escape. But as director and actor Josh Shea reminds us, the reality is far more grounded. It’s early mornings before sunrise, coffee in hand, and a quiet moment of disbelief where you ask yourself, what are we actually doing? In this…
