“The Wrong They Knew” at Chickenshed – 06/03/26
In the midst of a crazy busy choir week, it’s good to escape to another time and place for a while and let someone else worry about providing the entertainment. So taking in a brand new show at Chickenshed seemed … Continue reading
“Ballad Lines” at Southwark Playhouse – 21/02/26
Saturday was a complicated day. You might wonder why I’ve not blogged in a while but the answer lies in the last post I wrote… that ol’ crutched teenager. So we’ve been having some very boring weekends at home while … 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
“Pan” at Chickenshed – 28/11/24
I might have mentioned in a previous post that Chickenshed has turned 50 this year (congratulations again!) and that means that their winter show had to be something pretty special. So they ran a poll to choose which show from … Continue reading
“Festival of the Girl” – 05/10/24
This is our third year at the Festival and Eva’s at the top end of the age range – something I didn’t think about until I realised that one of her classmates from primary school had been promoted to helper … Continue reading
