“Paddington” at the Savoy Theatre – 12/07/26

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by ELSF – 06/06/26

This is the fifth ELSF production I’ve reviewed and I’ve been gradually getting more and more biased. In 2024, VK had just started doing their youth theatre and so we knew the actors a little. Last year, VK got to … Continue reading

“The Boy at the Back of the Class” at Queen Elizabeth Hall – 07/04/26

Welp, it’s been quite a news day hasn’t it? I was sitting perilously close to the news channels at work and all day, the gruesome twosome of Don and Ye were in my peripheral vision, with headlines that bounced between … Continue reading

“Oh Mary!” at Trafalgar Theatre – 30/03/26

You may recall that we’ve been to see a play about Mary Todd Lincoln recently and it wasn’t this one. I’m not quite sure which strings MTL posthumously pulled to get herself a West End double bill but I feel … Continue reading
