REVIEW: FLUSH (Etcetera Theatre)
David Dipper’s first play was premiered at the Soho Theatre in 2004; no mean feat for a 21 year old.

REVIEW: Tipping The Velvet (Lyric Hammersmith)
Unfortunately I have never read Sarah Waters’ novel, however I clearly remember the BBC adaptation and the whisperings among the playground (I was still at school) of this risqué lesbian drama.

REVIEW: CRUSH (Richmond Theatre)
There’s a new woman in town: after the death of the beloved Headmistress of the Dame Dorothea Dosserdale School for Girls, the horrid Miss Bleacher takes over the reins in 1963.

REVIEW: The Kitchen Sink (The White Lion Theatre)
I was very intrigued to get an invite to a ‘pop up’ fringe theatre. Everything seems to be ‘popping up’ these days, from clothes shops to cocktail bars and each tends to have a frisson of excitement and an air of ingenuity around it. So it was with some enthusiasm that I made my way […]
