REVIEW: THE BACON KILLER (Theatre Utopia) ★★★
Set in a New York Police Department precinct house in the 1980’s, two intrepid murder squad police officers, Dick Whittington and Kimberly, are on the hunt for a dangerous cop killer. The play is full of eighties US cop show bon ami and buddy buddy movie banter. It is a fast paced Starsky and Hutch for […]
REVIEW: CONSTELLATIONS (Bread and Roses Theatre) ★★
Constellations is a phenomenal play and having missed it in the West End, I have been desperate to see a staged production for a while. However, there is perhaps a reason as to why it is performed so infrequently, as it needs to be cast perfectly or it may perhaps be set up to fail. […]
REVIEW: THE SOUND OF MURDER (Yvonne Arnaud Theatre) ★★★★
I love a play with a twisted murder plot, and that is just what William Fairchild’s The Sound of Murder delivers. Obviously, I can’t give anything away, however the key to this plot is a dictating machine used by highly successful children’s author Charles Norbury, who as a successful tiny tots’ favourite author in reality […]

The Greenwich Theatre brings Sex, Axe and Rock ‘n’ Roll to the stage The last couple of years in London have seen some wonderful musical productions such as Dreamgirls, Groundhog Day and Funny Girl, but this Lizzie is absolutely brilliant, fantastic right up there with the best of them. This is a rock opera, as […]

THEATRE REVIEW: LIVING A LITTLE (The Vault Festival) ★★★★
Living A Little creates theatre zombies at the Vaults Festival It is difficult to reinvent such an iconic genre as horror in a theatrical production and with almost a century of ankle-grabbing, jugular-munching gore, the zombie apocalypse trope is on the verge of becoming tired. We’ve all seen the wide-eyed, heavily perspiring heroes trapped in a […]
