Hidden In The Sand
Wilmas Rating *** Hidden In The Sand tells the story of a Greek Cypriot woman Alexandra (played by Sally Dexter) who meets a man, Jonathan (played by Scott Handy), in her jewellery shop.

HAG
Wilmas Rating * HAG is based on the old folklore tale of Baba Yaga, the child eating witch of the Eastern Slavic world. This is The Wrong Crowds second production which is currently touring the UK. The 70 minute show is dark and obscure. As soon as the witch appeared on stage my friend whispered […]

Valley Boy, City Life
Wilma’s Rating **** Ben Vivian Jones brought his new show to London’s Union Theatre for one night of self indulgent comedy about his life and sexploits as a gay man growing up in Wales. Valley Boy, City Life is brought to life through comedy monologues and song, which had the audience laughing all the way […]
