REVIEW: LEAVE TO REMAIN (Lyric Hammersmith) ★★★★
Leave to Remain is a play written by Matt Jones and Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke. Don’t be fooled by the title, it’s not a play about Brexit; there’s a passing reference and a Visa issue but this is a love story, with songs. When Jones and Okereke began collaborating, they wanted to tell a story […]
REVIEW: Showstopper! The Improvised Musical (The Other Palace) ★★★★★
Theatre is renowned for its risk – financial restraints, the inherent vulnerability that comes with sharing ideas and the unpredictable variables of audience respect and enjoyment.

How you can get tickets to MARY POPPINS from just £18!
Yesterday, I light-heartedly tweeted “Do the £209 tickets for Mary Poppins include a free ride through the auditorium by umbrella?” Less than 24 hours later and the tweet has gone semi-viral and caused an outrage amongst theatre fans who feel theatre is unaffordable and priced online for the elite these days. Whilst that can be […]
