News The National Theatre is due to begin a series of NT Live streaming events on YouTube; they will take place every […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s World Theatre Day 2020The slightest of delays in getting this one out – but if you were dealing with unco-operative internet, a laptop whose keyboard still won’t work, and a manic month at work to prepare for, you’d be in the same boat. News Tower Theatre in Stoke Newington is celebrating its first anniversary, and will be […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s Autumn/Winter 2019You may remember that last year I provided you with one of these big preview posts every month. Whilst it was interesting to find out what was going on across the country (and remind myself of things I still needed to see), the self-imposed pressure of compiling so much every few weeks started to cause […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s Spring/Summer 2019It’s the final month of the year – and Mind the Blog is proud to be a Panto-Free Zone! Not that I can’t see the positives of it – it’s fantastic when you’re a kid (and, presumably, if you’re accompanying children), but it’s just something I can’t get on board with as a child-free adult […]

And possibly not enough time to fit it all in… […]

In London Eugenius! returns to The Other Palace, Milly Thomas’ Dust […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… It’s September 2018Though at the moment it looks quiet, I have finally got a draft schedule together for my time in Edinburgh, and it seems as if my plan to ease myself in has just gone out of the window… It’s going to be a hectic week for me up there, but it has to be done!

Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s August 2018Actually my calendar isn’t as bad as it might look, should you happen to glance upon it.
