A weekend in London (I can’t help but sing that to the tune of ‘A weekend in the country’ but that’s just me….)55 Days, Hampstead TheatreThis is one of the best pieces of theatre I’ve seen in a long time, I wish I could get to see it again because there’s a lot to takeContinueContinue reading “Reviews: 55 Days”

I did resolve to use this blog for more reviews, so here goes…Our Boys by Jonathan LewisI went to see this as a Birthday outing for a friend who is rather fond of Lawrence Fox, as it happened this play also had Arthur Darvill of Dr Who fame and Matthew Lewis of Harry Potter fame. I was expectingContinueContinue reading “Review: Our Boys,”

I plan on using this blog to do more reviews as I reason I see a lot of theatre and blogging about it rather than  just my general moans occasionally makes for more interesting reading.I also quite pride myself on my critical eye when it comes to theatre-seeing through the hype and also giving creditContinueContinue reading “Without You (Review of sorts)”

OurContinueContinue reading “Sex Swansea and Sian Phillips”

Last week I took a trip to London for both work (archive visiting) and pleasure (theatre viewing) is it wrong or odd that those tags are both interchangeable to me?Anyway a good time was had by all (I think) we learned much in the archive, including that prompt scripts are a bitch to transcribe (actuallyContinueContinue reading “London Town and Theatre Reviews”

I spend a great deal of time talking about the experience of theatre, ethnography of it to use the technical term. The where, when and with whom of seeing something is as important as the what much of the time. If you’ve ever taken someone to the theatre/concert/cinema who really doesn’t want to go you’llContinueContinue reading “My life in ticket stubs”
