“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
“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
“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
“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

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
