“The Washing Line” at Chickenshed – 21/03/25
In some ways, it feels that the Chickenshed shows have grown up as my kids have. Bear in mind that I first visited the Shed with a 4-year-old Eva to watch a show about monkeys having a Sports Day and … Continue reading
“Much Ado About Nothing” at Theatre Royal- 14/03/25
It’s going to be tricky to write an entirely original review for this show as I’ve done reviews for both “Much Ado About Nothing” and a Jamie Lloyd production at the Theatre Royal in the past year. So anything I … Continue reading
Covid-19 Day of Reflection
Today I’ve been reflecting on the 5th anniversary of the start of lockdown. I know the official “Day of Reflection” was on 9th March but that didn’t feel like the anniversary to me. I was still commuting that day, had … Continue reading
“Will Breaker” StreetHunt – 22/02/25
It’s always a challenge to review an escape room because the whole point is to find things out for yourself….but I was intrigued by the Street Hunt concept and so I am going to do my very best to review … Continue reading

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
Christmas at Kew – 13/12/24
Happy belated Christmas dear readers! Apologies for the lateness of this post but there have been some complications this Crimbo time. But we seem to have landed the other side so here’s a much delayed review of when we went … Continue reading
