The latest play to hit Trafalgar Studios 2 is the debut piece from Michael Dennis. Starring Marina Sirtis (of Star Trek: The Next Generation) and featuring the voice of Mark Gatiss, Dark Sublime is described as “a love-letter to British sci-fi television”, exploring the people that make it and the fandoms that spring from them. Kate […]
Read More Dark Sublime“Love is life’s snow.” This poignant quote from Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen comes right near the end of Tatty Hennessy’s one-woman show, tying the strands of the story together absolutely perfectly. Following acclaimed runs at the VAULT Festival and Arcola Theatre, A Hundred Words for Snow has been out on a UK tour, which finishes this […]
Read More A Hundred Words for SnowAs 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 female performances to follow). Mind the Advent also promoted a few more performances, just […]
Read More Favourite male performances of 2018Last seen in the UK back in June 2017, when it had a limited run at the Arts Theatre in London’s West End, Jon Brittain’s play Rotterdam is now set to embark on a nationwide tour; this announcement from Hartshorn-Hook Productions coincides with this year’s Transgender Awareness Week.

Read More Rotterdam announces UK tourIt was a busy old week, wasn’t it? I managed to stick to my plan of two blogs a day, and did what I could to start some conversations on social media. I also got as much out of my theatre-related clothing & accessories while I was at it! Linked to the day’s events, where […]
Read More Challenge Week 2018: round-upI’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 shitAs it’s been well over a year since my last challenge week, I thought it was high time I came up with another. Obviously my previous efforts have had themes (the Globe last year, Sunny Afternoon several times before that), but I honestly couldn’t come up with a viable theme for my only free week […]
Read More Challenge Week 2018It honestly doesn’t let up. At all. After an Edinburgh-focused August, and a ‘keep myself busy at all costs’ September (mostly to avoid the hell that is rush hour transport), October has rolled in, bursting at the seams because there is too much to do. And possibly not enough time to fit it all in… […]
Read More Never Mind The Blog… Here’s October 2018September 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 […]
