Under the Radar at the Bread and Roses

Nov 14, 2019 / @thelastressort / Leave a comment

Last night I went to the Bread and Roses theatre for the dark comedy 'Under the Radar'. Written and directed by Jonathon Crewe, this is a play that starts slowly, before taking you on a macabre and unexpected journey. From the opening scenes, I have to confess that I was a little worried that I … Continue reading Under the Radar at the Bread and Roses

Afterglow at Waterloo East Theatre

Oct 27, 2019Oct 27, 2019 / @thelastressort / Leave a comment

Following a run at the Southwark Playhouse, Afterglow has transferred to the Waterloo East Theatre.  I understand that this production (new cast, new director, new venue) is quite different from the original Southwark Playhouse run, but as I didn't see it you'll be spared any unnecessary theatre geek comparisons. I'm sure this is a great … Continue reading Afterglow at Waterloo East Theatre

A Partnership at Theatre 503

Oct 2, 2019 / @thelastressort / Leave a comment

Told in real-time, A Partnership is a sensitively written 60 minute two-hander that takes us into the bowels of a dysfunctional gay relationship. Ally (Ben Hadfield) is turning 30 in an hour. He is being a tad dramatic about it, as if the world as he knows it is about to end.  To add to … Continue reading A Partnership at Theatre 503

Mercy at the Bread and Roses

Last night I headed to the Bread and Roses to check out my first show of the Clapham Fringe Festival. This festival runs exclusively at the Bread & Roses until 13th October, and offers a wonderfully varied selection of shows, all on the theme of 'Beyond Borders'. You can find out more about it here: … Continue reading Mercy at the Bread and Roses

Baby, What Blessings at Theatre 503

Sep 26, 2019 / @thelastressort / Leave a comment

Following it's warm reception at the Edinburgh Fringe, I was intrigued to see 'Baby, What Blessings' at Theatre 503 last night. Running until Saturday 28th September, it played to a full house last night, and I believe is sold out again tonight, so if you do fancy catching it, I'd book in quickly for one … Continue reading Baby, What Blessings at Theatre 503

Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story at Wilton’s Music Hall

Sep 22, 2019 / @thelastressort / 1 Comment

How can a review do justice to a show as special as Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story? It probably can't but I am attempting to rise to the challenge. Louisa Adamson's ingenious and evocative set fits into a shipping container, immediately transporting us back in time to Canada in 1908. The beauty and detail … Continue reading Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story at Wilton’s Music Hall

‘What Girls are Made Of’ at The Soho Theatre

Sep 12, 2019 / @thelastressort / Leave a comment

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

Aug 24, 2019 / @thelastressort / Leave a comment

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

So let's kick off with the introductions... My name is TL Wiswell, my first name is Tonnvane. I am doing … Continue reading A Glimpse Inside with TL Wiswell

Tracing Erased Memories – a multimedia walk

Aug 19, 2019Aug 19, 2019 / @thelastressort / Leave a comment

Tracing Erased Memories is a multi-media walk created by Dina Mohamed and Hilda Moucharrafieh running until 20th August as part of the Camden Fringe. Each walk takes 45 minutes and there are a maximum of two participants for each slot, as you are carefully guided by either Dina or Hilda. A good idea given the … Continue reading Tracing Erased Memories – a multimedia walk
