“Cabaret” at the KitKat Club – 05/11/25
5th November is certainly a time for remembering things and so it was probably appropriate that I used a day’s annual leave to take VK to the KitKat Club (AKA the Playhouse Theatre) to remember what life is like under … Continue reading
Musical Con 2025 – 18/10/25
I never normally watch or read other people’s reviews before I write mine but then I never normally leave things ten days before reviewing them. But yknow, there was “The Book Thief” the day afterwards and then choir and haircutting … Continue reading
“The Book Thief” at Prince of Wales Theatre -19/10/25
It’s been a few days since we saw The Book Thief but it’s haunting me still. Maybe because it is so very prescient or maybe because it’s a tale for all times….of man’s cruelty to man but the strength of … Continue reading
Echobelly at the Electric Ballroom – 16/10/25
It’s not been long since the last time we went to a 90s album playthrough at the Electric Ballroom – in fact, it’s been a matter of weeks. That last playthrough was a little shambolic so, as much as I … Continue reading

“The Mousetrap” at St Martin’s Theatre – 25/08/25
Now, I’m not sure what you’re expecting from a review of a 73-year-old play but I’ll tell you what you’re not going to get – spoilers. There’s a tradition of keeping the Whodunnit in this Whodunnit under wraps and I … Continue reading
Terrific Tenerife#3 – Whales and Dolphins, Whales and Dolphins, yeah!
When I said I didn’t mean to write two posts, you’ll realise that I definitely definitely didn’t mean to write three posts. But here we are. So far, I’ve told you about lounging and water parking and now for the … Continue reading

Terrific Tenerife#2 – We’ll All Go to Raging Waters
Now, I didn’t mean to make this holiday into two posts as it was really quite a straightforward week of lounging about. But turns out I can write a lot of words about that BAU lounging without getting on to … Continue reading
Terrific Tenerife#1 – The Tide is High
So, I’ve been on a Jet2 holiday. My children inform me that this is some kind of meme nowadays and I’d like to be able to say that we went the full week without ever hearing that jingle…but that would … Continue reading
