I’m walking past the theatre district the other night, and I swear I thought I’d taken a wrong turn into an earlier age. Back to the Future in giant neon. Down the street The Lion King (again). Around the corner The Devil Wears Prada and right there in the middle? A whole pack of spotted dogs 101 Dalmatians and…
Girl from the North Country premiered in 2017 and has now returned to the Old Vic Theatre, running until 23rd August. I wasn’t initially sure about going to this production my dad really wanted to see it but I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot was somewhat confusing and not always cohesive, centering…
Theatre is meant to move, divide, thrill and sometimes completely disappoint. From West End giants to smaller gems, here’s my unapologetically honest breakdown of the most overrated, most underrated, and absolute best theatre productions I’ve seen. Agree, disagree this is my stage, and I’m not holding back. THE MOST OVERRATED MUSICAL – Hadestown I’ve already written a full article explaining…
Off West End Award nominated playwright David Shopland has a new play called Cul-de-Sac, showing now at the Omnibus Theatre, Clapham. It was an interesting watch, but the production was too long for my liking. I sat down in my seat at 7.30pm and left around 10.30pm. This show is about a couple, Ruth and…
Ryan Calais Cameron has shown what a brilliant young writer he is with this extraordinary three hander that dramatizes a meeting in 1955 Hollywood. This wonderful play skilfully explores themes of betrayal, integrity and what would you be willing to sacrifice to achieve your dream? This is Ryan’s second play that has made the transfer…
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,…
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…
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…
“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…
“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…
