We are greeted by Cecilia, a lovely calming, soft voiced creature who runs us all through a series of tests; where there are no wrong nor right answers. As the tests continue it becomes clear that however calming and relaxed Cecelia seems, we are not relaxed about the questions and more importantly the answers. And […]

REVIEW: The Mould that Changed the World (Surgeon’s Hall) ★★★★
It’s quite a bold title and aptly staged at the Surgeon’s Hall. The show begins at a UN conference for Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR), which is at once a curious place to start, considering that this is a musical. Yes that’s right. Musical theatre. About antibiotics. Stay with me. The action goes right to the dawn […]

REVIEW: Showmanship (C Royale) ★★★★
I’ve seen Lucy Roslyn in performance a few times: The People Versus John Haynes; a rehearsed read of the first instalment of stories set in Boon & Dogget’s circus, Goody; and now Showmanship, the second in the four episode series.

REVIEW: Harpy (Underbelly Cowgate) ★★★★
Being an outspoken woman of a certain age, I was very attracted to this show for two reasons: the name of the play and it starring Su Pollard, who was a childhood heroine of mine, for her brilliant comedic skills in shows such as Hi De Hi and You Rang M’ord. Her talent for timing […]
