I wanted to start by saying when watching this play, it was unfortunate that I didn’t see Julian Bird who is the writer and star of The Psychiatrist and plays Dr Andrew Faulkner in the key role. A day before press night he sustained an injury, so the producer Alistair Brown stood in for him,…

EXCLUSIVE: THE STARS OF NEW PLAY THE PSYCHIATRIST TALK TO OVER THE SHOULDER
Julian Bird and Stephanie Okoye are appearing in this new two-hander that is making its premiere at the White Bear Theatre from the 8th to the 26th of April and they couldn’t be any more excited to start the run. Based on Julian’s real experiences, it tells the story of a psychiatrist’s struggles with poor resources and…
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING RELIES TOO MUCH ON GLITZ AND GLAMOUR
Shakespeare is one of the best playwrights and poets in history. My favourite play is Much ado About Nothing which is on at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, so I was really looking forward to seeing how they could turn it into something different with a minimalistic set. Jamie Lloyd who directed it normally makes his…
WHITE ROSE: A STORY THAT SHOUTS TO BE HEARD AND DESERVES A WEST END RUN.
“We will not be Silent”. ” Stand Up and Resist”. “Truth, Freedom and Honour”. These words are the bedrock of this morality tale that is also a true story of speaking truth to power. I didn’t know the true story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, but it can’t be repeated enough so that…
ASA BUTTERFIELD IS ANYTHING BUT “SECOND BEST” IN THIS EXTRAORDINARY ONE-MAN SHOW.
“LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DIDN’T DO, ITS ABOUT WHAT WE DID DO” When getting the tickets for this production I was really intrigued. First, because I have never seen a one man show and second because of the plot and its promise of being a poignant original comedy. To tell you the truth…
‘This theatrical experience is not normal, but that’s a good thing’ – Stranger Things First Shadow.
If you liked Stranger Things the NETFLIX TV show that became a worldwide phenomenon, this theatre production, playing at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End will blow your mind. Literally and metaphorically. But if you have arrived from another planet and don’t know the Stranger Things universe then don’t let that put you off….
Hadestown: You think hell is below ground but it’s in Central London.
We need to keep this short and sweet because it is fair say this musical was not my cup of tea. In 2019, this hit show received 14 Tony nominations and won eight, including Best Musical. Most people say this is their favourite show that is on at the West End, I have a different…
True Love found in New York and a cake shop.
This fresh, original musical romcom will not disappoint. Two Strangers is what you expect it to be, a little bit of an indie, charming with its quirks and overall sweet. Dougal (Sam Tutty) fly’s over to the Big Apple to go to his dad’s wedding, whom he has never met. He meets New Yorker and…
OH, I LIKE A MURDER. The Mousetrap revisited by a murder mystery fan.
I saw this show when I was little, however I completely forgot how impressive this perennial thriller is. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was and was enthralled for the entire performance. Agatha Christies legendary whodunnit is one show in the West End that you must see at least once in your life. It…
Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder and this viewer loved it!
Hello Listener, the popularity of true crime and podcasts are matched together perfectly in this new musical now being performed at the Ambassador Theatre in the West End. This refreshing original musical production that it is not a re-hash of Disney movies, iconic films or old theatrical hits being brought back for the umpteenth time….
