“Dick Whittington and his Catford Cat” at Broadway Theatre – 11/12/25
I forgot to mention earlier that the theatre also has a reconstruction of a Windrush-era living room in the foyer, right where that picture of Chris and Pui was taken. It’s fascinating and provoked quite some nostalgia in the people … Continue reading
“Ride the Cyclone” at Southwark Playhouse – 15/11/25
What to say about viral social media sensation “Ride the Cyclone”? Well, the first thing to say is that I’ve been listening to MickeyJoTheatre’s thoughts on previews so, in accordance with those thoughts, this review should not be appearing until … Continue reading
“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
As is becoming traditional in November, I’ve taken a week off to celebrate being so bad at managing my annual leave that I have to take it in November. Coincidentally, Eva had an inset day today so it seemed like … Continue reading
“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
