“Pig Heart Boy” at Unicorn Theatre – 08/02/25
It’s been a while since our last visit to Unicorn Theatre, so when I heard about this production of the 1997 Malorie Blackman novel, I jumped at the chance. Of course, the last time we went it was from church … Continue reading
“Ballet Shoes” at the National Theatre – 31/01/25
Now, I need to say that I am very precious when it comes to “Ballet Shoes” and early trailers and posters for this show made me reluctant to see it. Any kind of re-imagining, any kind of modernising…..these things were … Continue reading
Mars in the Painted Hall – 18/01/25
Early in December, I realised that I had done a lot of preparation for Christmas when it came to getting groups of people singing carols but I was missing a vital bit of prep. I hadn’t thought of anything to … Continue reading
Family Sword Fighting Demonstration at the Globe – 01/06/24
Half term may be nearly over but the summer holidays aren’t far away and I bet you’re looking for something to entertain the tween or teen in your life. Well, I have just the thing for you. It helps if … Continue reading
“Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: Romeo and Juliet” at The Globe – 03/04/24
It’s funny – when someone mentions a modern-day adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet”, a lot of people my age will automatically think of the 1996 Baz Luhrmann version. I even saw it mentioned on Facebook just the other day. But … Continue reading
“Delight” – 24/11/23

“The Tempest” at Unicorn Theatre – 23/09/23
This is the second child-friendly production of The Tempest that Eva and I have seen this year so do forgive me if I in any way repeat myself . There are similarities but today’s show certainly had a few … Continue reading
BBC Earth Experience – 08/08/23
Ever wondered what it would be like to visit the Planet Earth? Well, now you can find out but be warned – you have to go to West Brompton first and that’s as tricky to get to as Mercury. Which … Continue reading
Oxygen Freejumping – 05/07/23
I’ve been blogging like a demon recently. Maybe because after a week of the school holidays my brain will be so sludgy that I can no longer form words beyond….”GIVEMECOFFFFFEEEEE”. But I have something to tell you about and, unlike … Continue reading
“The Tempest” at the Globe – 03/04/23
I’ll start this post by saying that I am very, very tired today. I’ll explain the reason in a separate post because it definitely deserves a separate post but needless to say, it was a very tiring reason. But … Continue reading
