I've been wanting to write this post for a few days, but I've had to take some time to sit with it, so I could identify why I was so blown away by this play. As a result, you have only 6 performances left before this extraordinary show closes at the Park Theatre this coming … Continue reading Reasons to see Schism at the Park Theatre
The best seat in the house
When it comes to booking theatre tickets I'm a bit of a control freak. For my favourite venues I have definite seating preferences that combine my desire to be as close to the stage as possible, and ticket prices (for some venues the front row is cheaper, or you can nab a bit of a … Continue reading The best seat in the house
An epic case of theatre FOMO
As an avid theatre-goer who has been forced to scale back her theatre going, I'm suffering from serious theatre FOMO.

3 Women at the Trafalgar Studios
Last night I scored a cheeky ticket to the press night of 3 Women at the Trafalgar Studios 2.

Nightfall at the Bridge Theatre
I have been a keen follower of Barney Norris' plays ever since his first full length play, Visitors (Bush Theatre, 2014) played merry havoc with my heart. I was still drying my tears when I read with surprise that it was a debut play by a twenty-something playwright. There was an emotional sensitivity and maturity … Continue reading Nightfall at the Bridge Theatre
Reasons to see… Harold and Maude
Last week I was lucky enough to see the wonderful "Harold and Maude" at the Charing Cross Theatre. Following a pre-planned extension to the run, complete with casting changes (the marketing of which was a tad confusing, but that does mean there is good availability and deals to be found on tickets), I saw the … Continue reading Reasons to see… Harold and Maude
Flash theatre recommendation: Kiss of the Spider Woman at The Menier Chocolate Factory
Last night I was lucky enough to see the final PREVIEW show of "Kiss of the Spider Woman" at the Menier Chocolate factory. I'm flagging I saw a preview show as, for those who may not familiar with the strange ways of theatre, a production will continue to be tweaked and changed until it opens … Continue reading Flash theatre recommendation: Kiss of the Spider Woman at The Menier Chocolate Factory
