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. I've been lucky enough to see some shows on their press nights, but generally my theatre going has been seriously curtailed.

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
