“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
“Macbeth” at the Harold Pinter Theatre – 18/10/24
A few minutes ago I wasn’t sure whether I’d ever mentioned my love of David Tennant on this blog but I’ve now done a keyword search and yes, I think I have mentioned it. So I probably don’t need to … Continue reading
City Coffee and Chicken Row
As you may have discerned, I’ve gone through a break up. Breaking up is hard to do, especially when kids are involved, and I know that Eva is missing her regular cheesecake pots already. But let me be clear – … Continue reading
“Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder” at Ambassadors Theatre – 17/07/24
Now, there’s no starker realisation that the toddler years are over than when you take your baby girl to see a show and she is laughing uproariously at a well-placed F-bomb in the first scene. There are many well-placed F-bombs … Continue reading
Club de Fromage Daytime Party – 22/06/24
I know – I’m getting adventurous in my middle age. Not content with Disco 2000ing in the evenings every few months, I’ve now taken to over 30s daytime clubbing at Scala. Wild times indeed. And in that spirit, we started … Continue reading
“Stranger Things: The First Shadow” at the Phoenix Theatre – 01/03/24
What to say about Stranger Things on stage that won’t constitute spoilers? And if I do spill any spoilers, will a shady government organisation come and make me disappear? It seems likely. What I can say is that the queuing … Continue reading
Natural History Museum and “My Neighbour Totoro” at the Barbican – 27/01/24
If you think that title is long, then let me assure you that the day that went with it was every bit as long. I’m still recovering from it now…or not, as the case may be. The Yorkshire Folk were … Continue reading

“Zimmer vs Williams” at the Barbican – 31/12/23
Despite what I told my children, this was not a cage fight between two distinguished composers. So apologies – if that’s why you clicked on this post, you’ll be disappointed. Maybe get in touch with the makers of 90s classic … Continue reading
Christmassy Things to See
As you may know if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, one of my favourite things to do at this time of year is to wander around London and just look at all the pretty things … Continue reading
I Just Want to Tell You How I’m Feeling…..
Tired. But that’s not the main point of this post. In fact, there are a few things I want to tell you about but don’t worry, we’ll come back to the post title eventually. First though, let me tell you … Continue reading
