“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” at the Ambassadors Theatre – 26/07/25
It seems that I have once more been the victim of Facebook advertising. Sooner or later I need to admit that it is *me* that is the problem, not Facebook. No one is forcing me to buy these tickets. All … Continue reading
“Hercules” at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane – 18/07/25
Ah, Theatre Royal Drury Lane we meet again! You of the beautiful staircases and the name which makes for awkwardly long post titles? And where better to stage a Grecian epic than in somewhere with this carpet? So it’s a … Continue reading
“Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief” at the Other Palace Theatre – 14/06/25
I know, another day, another theatre review. This one was originally intended to be in July, after Roo’s exams had finished and as part of a Greek mythological double-bill with “Hercules”. But sadly, “Percy Jackson” changed its closing date so … Continue reading
“Operation Mincemeat” at the Fortune Theatre – 13/06/25
You’ll never guess what VK and I did last night….that’s right, yet more theatre. And there is more to come this weekend. “Op Mincemeat” was a bit of a last-minute plan as a friend got one of the lottery codes … Continue reading
“The Play That Goes Wrong” at Duchess Theatre – 08/06/25
You know sometimes you just kinda end up somewhere without really knowing how or why? Well, that’s around 90% of all the visits I’ve made to Covent Garden in my life and Sunday was no exception. I mean, I knew … Continue reading
“The Great Gatsby” at London Coliseum – 30/05/25
I must admit I didn’t have high hopes for this one. Having read the reviews and listened to the reviews of the reviews, not of which were overly positive. But VK wanted to go and tickets were a tempting £20 … Continue reading
“Astonishing Things” at Royal Academy of Arts and “The Face Magazine” at National Portrait Gallery – 17/05/25
Phew, I know…exhausting blog title. Well, it’s been an exhausting day. Especially as I’m only blogging the middle of our day – I did maypole this morning before the double-exhibition extravaganza and Nathan and VK are still out now. So … Continue reading
“Hamilton” at Victoria Palace Theatre – 03/05/25
So, once again the name of this blog is inaccurate. When I rebranded, less than a year ago, I knew that my time of having a singular teenager would be pretty limited because….that’s how time works. But the day is … Continue reading
“Twist Museum” – 21/04/25
The Easter holidays are very nearly over. We haven’t exactly made the most of the time off school, as both kids were poorly at different times but we’ve managed to squeeze some fun in along the way. Today, in the … Continue reading
“My Master Builder” at Wyndham’s Theatre – 18/04/25
This is an odd one to review because, for once, I’m getting in early on a play that pretty much no one else has seen yet. I always try to avoid reading reviews before I write mine but with things … Continue reading
