Following its award-winning run at the Edinburgh Fringe, and after getting lots of recommendations from people whose opinion I trust, I booked in to see Cora Bissett's 'What Girls are Made Of' at the Soho Theatre. Based on Cora Bissett's teenage diaries, 'What Girls are Made of' transported me back to the days of my … Continue reading ‘What Girls are Made Of’ at The Soho Theatre

Death Suits You at Theatro Technis
When I was invited to see a show about Death personified, my mind immediately went to the world of Terry Pratchett and filled with capital letters. However 'Death Suits You' brings us a fresh and new perspective on Death, and the frustration he feels at his work being under appreciated. With an original book, lyrics … Continue reading Death Suits You at Theatro Technis

All The Little Lights at the Tristan Bates
Photo credit: Dave Buttle SUPERLATIVE-FILLED RAVE REVIEW ALERT: I feel genuinely humbled to have been invited to watch and review the extraordinary 'All The Little Lights' at the Tristan Bates last night.

[Title of Show] at Moors Bar, Crouch End
The Camden Fringe is giving me the opportunity to explore unfamiliar parts of town. Today (a Friday) took me to Crouch End for the 2pm relaxed performance of [Title of Show] at the Moors Bar. A bit of a trek for a South Londoner but well worth the effort. I didn't know much about this … Continue reading [Title of Show] at Moors Bar, Crouch End

Whodunnit (unrehearsed) at the Park Theatre
Last night I had the great pleasure of seeing Whodunnit (unrehearsed) at the Park Theatre (a very generous treat from my lovely mum). Today my mouth feels a whole lot wider from excessive laughing and smiling. That is a thing right? Aching mouth aside, this is a much needed dose of pure silliness. You get … Continue reading Whodunnit (unrehearsed) at the Park Theatre
