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
August Bonanza – Club de Evita-Feel-Gatsby
It’s very nearly the end of August. Whether this brings joy or despair to your heart probably depends on whether your child is climbing up the walls with summer holiday boredom or whether they’re living their best life in pyjamas … 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
“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
Summer in the City
I mean, not the City as in the Square Mile. That’s not a great place to spend any swelteringly hot days unless you’re inside an airconditioned office. Although I did see an exciting Superman-themed pop up booth outside Liverpool Street … Continue reading
“As You Like It” by East London Shakespeare Festival – 20/06/25
Hooray! It is officially summer and you know that it’s official because ELSF are out in parks causing Bard-themed mayhem. For various complicated reasons, we weren’t able to go to the Highams Park dates this year so we decided to … 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
