Being a parent is the best and worst thing in the world. Your child’s pain is your pain and seeing them hurting is unbearable. But what if your child told you they were going to end their life? In just a few hours’ time… Directed by Roxana Silbert, ‘Night, Mother is a one act play […]
REVIEW: PRIDE & PREJUDICE (SORT OF) (Criterion Theatre)

REVIEW: THE GREAT GATSBY (Gatsby’s Mansion at Immersive LDN)
Gatsby has become almost synonymous with partying. And for good reason. We immediately conjure up images of champagne, flapper dresses and the Charleston. And this is exactly what you get from the immersive production. Its new home in Mayfair feels much more fitting and the space is opulent but gritty. The experience is what you […]
REVIEW: HOW TO SURVIVE AN APOCALYPSE (Finborough Theatre)
Can you believe this was my first ever trip to the Finborough Theatre in London? I was excited to finally get to go and check it out and see How To Survive An Apocalypse at the same time. The theatre is hilarious – the Fawlty Towers of pub theatres and I loved it for its […]
