REVIEW: Ordinary Days (Bridewell Theatre) ★★★
Ordinary Days premiered in 2008 at London’s Finborough theatre, before moving to its rightful home off-Broadway the following year.

REVIEW: THE WOMAN IN BLACK (Fortune Theatre, 2017) ★★★★
The Fortune Theatre, built in 1924 on the ashes of the Albion Pub is a suitably spooky setting for Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black, now in its 29th year. It abounds with tales of ghosts; the broken hearted flower seller who appears once a year in the circle to wait for his illicit love; […]

REVIEW: SUNSET BOULEVARD (Curve Leicester) ★★★★★
Sunset Boulevard is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s tragic story of the once brilliant Norma Desmond (Ria Jones), a faded star of the silent screen, and Joe Gillis (Danny Mac), a struggling young screenwriter trying desperately to make it in tinsel town. Directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, this show is an epic triumph. Andrew Lloyd […]
