REVIEW: THE WHITE BIKE (The Space) ★★★★
The White Bike by Tamara von Werthern has its first run at The Space on the Isle of Dogs. The action is firmly set in East London and the location seems fitting. The play is inspired by the death of Eilidh Cairns, a young female cyclist killed by a lorry in 2009 and the first […]
REVIEW: Tom Lucy: Needs to Stop Showing Off in Front of His Friends (Pleasance Courtyard) ★★★★★
Edinburgh is not lacking in comedians. Often I find myself avoiding seeing comedians at the fringe purely because there is too much choice. However, the buzz that precedes Tom Lucy meant I knew he wasn’t one to miss. Having toured with Jack Whitehall among other big names, Lucy’s comic style is definitely one for the […]

Buzz however, was a polished piece of West End worthy theatre. Following the story of Angie (Allie Munro) post breaking up with her dead-end boyfriend turned rock star and her […]
REVIEW: TENDERLY (New Wimbledon Studio) ★★★★★
Sometimes there are jukebox musicals that are forced to fit. They shoehorn songs into a plot, or fashion a plot around some pre-written songs. It tends to make for a very makeshift and incomplete feeling show. Tenderly, is not one of these. Set in a doctor’s office, the show is Rosemary Clooney’s recount of her […]
