My plans tonight aren’t strictly theatre, as I’m heading to Live at Zédel to see Barb Jungr’s tribute to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen; I’m reviewing the show for BroadwayWorld UK, so keep an eye out for that… I thought one way of marking […]
Read More Love Theatre Day 2017: A day in the life of Mind the BlogLike last year, I think now is probably a good time to see how my theatrical exploits are going in 2017 so far! You’ll likely agree that it’s been an eventful six months all round… As of approximately 3am (hello, midnight matinée), I’ve managed to clock in 112 different shows in six months – and with repeat […]
Read More 2017 mid-year updateOn Sunday I took on the biggest assignment of my theatre writing career yet, as I headed to the Royal Albert Hall for the most anticipated date in the London theatre calendar: the Olivier Awards.
