Get ready for a gushy review. Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the press-night of Jonathan Harvey’s play ‘Boom Bang-A-Bang‘, directed by Andrew Beckett. It’s honestly rare that a play with an interval has me looking forward to the second act, but this production smashed the gradual build of act one. The play is […]

The Friedman sisters Maria and Sonia are from a talented family; Sonia as one of the leading Theatre Producers in the World and Maria, a West End Musical star and director and it was wonderful to see her in concert at Live at Zedel, the Cabaret room Crazy Coqs, inside Brasserie Zedel, just off of […]
REVIEW: Bernie Dieter’s Little Death Club (Underbelly) ★★★★★

At just the right length and with no weak link, we are welcomed to the seasonal pop […]

Billie (Bebe Barry) is a misfit teenager from Tonbridge who is inspired by Bowie’s […]
