REVIEW: Four Minutes Twelve Seconds (Trafalgar Studios)
In the age of the ‘selfie’ and ‘sexting,’ as well as the rapid development of social media, it imposes an ever-growing threat more than ever on the younger generation today. James Fritz’ first full-length play, Four Minutes Twelve Seconds, is a compelling drama written uniquely from the point of view of not the criminal, but […]

REVIEW: Lovesong of the Electric Bear (Above the Arts Theatre)
Snoo Wilson was one of the playwrights who revolutionised British theatre after 1968.

REVIEW: Shrek (Empire Theatre, Sunderland)
“What makes us different makes us stronger” Shrek arrives in Sunderland and after nearly two years on tour and you have to worry about the state of Gerard Carey’s knees.

Pop Musical LOSERVILLE returns to the Union Theatre this December
It’s 1971. Michael Dork may be a computer geek but he’s invented something that could change the world. He’s also discovered girls: a prospect (almost) as exciting as his love of binary. Holly is the girl: she has looks and brains and wants to be the first woman in space – well, this is 1971! But […]

A Day In The Life Of … West End Wilma!

With the classic songs ‘It’s A Hard Knock Life’ and ‘Tomorrow’, Annie has become a household favourite for adults and children alike. Most famous […]
