“Hadestown” at the Lyric Theatre – 09/02/25
I may have mentioned before that Eva is a bit obsessed with musicals at the moment and “Hadestown” is one of her particular faves. So when we were on the bus to school, she looked at my phone over my … Continue reading
“Pig Heart Boy” at Unicorn Theatre – 08/02/25
It’s been a while since our last visit to Unicorn Theatre, so when I heard about this production of the 1997 Malorie Blackman novel, I jumped at the chance. Of course, the last time we went it was from church … Continue reading
“Ballet Shoes” at the National Theatre – 31/01/25
Now, I need to say that I am very precious when it comes to “Ballet Shoes” and early trailers and posters for this show made me reluctant to see it. Any kind of re-imagining, any kind of modernising…..these things were … Continue reading
Mars in the Painted Hall – 18/01/25
Early in December, I realised that I had done a lot of preparation for Christmas when it came to getting groups of people singing carols but I was missing a vital bit of prep. I hadn’t thought of anything to … Continue reading
“The Tempest” at Theatre Royal – 04/01/25
Happy New Year everyone! I know it’s the new year because I looked round and Nathan had stealthily removed the Christmas tree just in time for the twelfth night. And talking of the twelfth night, guess which Shakespeare play we … Continue reading

Winter Wanders
Happy December everybody! As is becoming traditional, I took a week off to celebrate my inability to plan my annual leave well and it’s surprising how I can find things to fill a chilly November week every year. I won’t … Continue reading
“Pan” at Chickenshed – 28/11/24
I might have mentioned in a previous post that Chickenshed has turned 50 this year (congratulations again!) and that means that their winter show had to be something pretty special. So they ran a poll to choose which show from … Continue reading
Paradox Museum – 30/10/24
Welcome to Day #10 of the ever-lasting half term. Eva’s out there in the dark streets, covered in watermelon juice and begging for sweets from strangers. Standard stuff. But while it seems that we’ve given up on parenting today, I … Continue reading
“Dr Strangelove” at Noel Coward Theatre – 22/10/24
Wow, we have been ever so stage-y this half term. Macbeth last Friday evening, Musical Con on Saturday and yesterday Eva and her BFF went to see “Heathers” in Oxford. I’m not reviewing that one because I was in the … Continue reading
