“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
“Les Misérables” at the Sondheim Theatre – 05/04/25
How to review “Les Mis”? Surely it’s such a classic that everyone who might want to see it has already seen it so what could I possibly say? Well, I’ll do my best and start off by wishing the original … Continue reading
“The Washing Line” at Chickenshed – 21/03/25
In some ways, it feels that the Chickenshed shows have grown up as my kids have. Bear in mind that I first visited the Shed with a 4-year-old Eva to watch a show about monkeys having a Sports Day and … Continue reading
“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
Covid-19 Day of Reflection
Today I’ve been reflecting on the 5th anniversary of the start of lockdown. I know the official “Day of Reflection” was on 9th March but that didn’t feel like the anniversary to me. I was still commuting that day, had … 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
