REVIEW: HER ACHING HEART (The Hope Theatre) ★★★★★
“Oh what a day! Oh what a wind of hope blows through the echoing corridors of my breast! Rattling at the knobs and knockers of the doors to my dry and dusty emotions!” And so begins this superb, touching, gothic silliness. There is a romantic literature, specifically written for women, that is not quite pornographic […]
Black, White or even Green – there is a place for all in Theatre
Women playing the roles of men? Black actors playing principal characters? Children being portrayed as having gay parents? WHATEVER NEXT?!

REVIEW: SOHO CINDERS (Union Theatre) ★★★★★
December has snuck up on us and pantomimes are popping up everywhere, but if you want something just as fun but with a bit more substance, SOHO CINDERS is your show.
