You didn’t think I’d share my least favourite shows of the year and just leave it at that, did you? Obviously not. As well as continuing to follow Wuthering Heights across the country, and making regular appointments with Operation Mincemeat in its two 2022 homes, I managed to see 78 different shows (repeat visits – […]
Read More Favourite shows 2022The 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.

Read More Day 5: “I’ve got a golden ticket”I’ve now seen Misty a total of four times (once, to my eternal smugness, at the Bush Theatre, and thrice at Trafalgar Studios), but have yet to write anything about it. I so wanted to review it, but if you’ve seen it then you’ll know what an undertaking that could be! Its groundbreaking, genre-bending nature […]
Read More Day 3: Featre shitSeptember is a bit of a busy month at the day job, so I’ve made sure that my evenings are filled so I have something to look forward to each day… On the broader theatrical landscape, there are plenty of things opening this month! In London Eugenius! returns to The Other Palace, Milly Thomas’ Dust […]
