As I ended up seeing more different shows than last year (and almost as many in total, thanks to some repeat visits), I decided enough was enough – it’s finally time to branch out from the weird top 12 idea. Beginning with a short list of around 40 (admittedly this doesn’t sound very short), I […]
Read More Favourite shows of 2018There have been so many brilliant performances this year that I simply couldn’t narrow them down enough – and it also didn’t seem fair to restrict things even further, so I’ve split what would usually be one post into two (favourite male performances came earlier). Mind the Advent also promoted a few more performances, just […]
Read More Favourite female performances of 2018There have been so many brilliant performances this year that I simply couldn’t narrow them down enough – and it also didn’t seem fair to restrict things even further, so I’ve split what would usually be one post into two (favourite female performances to follow). Mind the Advent also promoted a few more performances, just […]
Read More Favourite male performances of 2018Actually my calendar isn’t as bad as it might look, should you happen to glance upon it. Yes, the weeks are rather stacked, but I have given myself a nice little break away from London too – and I actually have a whole week where I’m not obliged to do any reviews myself! So there […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s July 2018Where have those six months gone? The year started off quite slow and steady, but all of a sudden things have picked up the pace again… It’s as if I never attempted to take things a little easier! As of this evening, I’ve managed to fit in 110 different shows – plus there are the […]
Read More 2018 mid-year updateA couple of days to recover from March, and then straight back on it… Lots and lots opening in London again this month! The Blue Elephant Theatre welcomes The Tell Tales, At the Heart of Things and Bailamos Opa! – plus Gauhar Jaan – The Datia Incident, Shadwell Opera Double Bill: Diary of One Who […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s April 2018First off, you’ll notice that (unlike February) I’ve had a little bit of time to raise the logo stakes slightly – so it’s slowly getting there… Lots of different things opening across the country this month. In London there are a lot of fringe & Off West End productions coming for you, such as Glass […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s March 2018Well, we’re all still here… The big red button hasn’t been pushed yet and theatre is better than ever! I’m starting as I hope to go on, and making sure I have the odd night off here & there – as much as I like being busy and seeing as much as possible, there were […]
Read More Coming up in 2018…Any number of shows could have been included in this post; frankly it’s ludicrous that I decided to stick with my whole top 12 idea… As I’ve seen about 90 more individual shows than last year, it’s almost a question of picking some of the shows out of a hat to be able to split […]
Read More Favourite shows of 2017This year I entered The Stage’s critic search, and decided to write about a show I hadn’t already reviewed. I went to the second preview of Jamie Lloyd’s Doctor Faustus and it was an, erm, interesting experience… I enjoyed the show more than I thought I would (I think my expectations were pretty low, if […]
