Image source: Almedia website Hello all, I'm back in the theatrical saddle again after a long break (reasons for this will be the subject of a separate post) and it feels great. As is often the way, after a long period of no theatre, I had two shows booked in on consecutive days (not to … Continue reading Previews, glorious previews!
The Greater Game review
Images courtesy of LAPA Last night I was invited to the press night of The Greater Game. Having already interviewed a lot of the cast, including the playwright, I felt nervous.

In that same spirit I want to talk about the Trafalgar Studios, which seems to be mopping up the cream of the crop of smaller space transfers. There is definitely magic in … Continue reading Is there magic in the water at the Trafalgar Studios?
My transfer-tastic recommendations
As my theatre going has slowed to a dribble (to translate - this means I still go more often than the average person, but I'm no longer attempting a financially unsustainable, paid critic level of theatre attendance) I've not been blogging as regularly as I used to.
