Have we taken Theatre Etiquette too far?
Blogs about etiquette are nothing new in the world of theatre. Talking about bad behaviour and how audience members ‘should’ behave come up every day online with disgruntled (one of my favourite words) audience members talking about what they witnessed at a show the night before. I myself am no stranger to writing these types […]

“It will blow away your cobwebs” said my friend as we emerged from ‘The Great American Trailer Park Musical’ and I’m inclined to agree: this quirky show with music and lyrics by David Nehls and book by Betsy Kelso premiered Off-Broadway in 2005. The show follows the love triangle between agoraphobic Jeanie (Jemma Alexander), her […]
REVIEW: A WORKING TITLE (The Union Theatre)
What I love about The Union Theatre, is that it gives a voice to wonderful new theatre and promising unestablished writers. Fortunately ‘A Working Title’, was no exception to this. Original Impact Theatre Company tell the stories of the unsung twenty something Londoners, who still haven’t (if I may quote the play) ‘got their sh*t […]
