Dizney Rascals
Rebecca Humphries is 27 years old and she fucking loves Disney. Good girl. I’m the same age and I really like Disney too. Handsome princes and fairytale endings – how many girls have sat waiting for their Prince Charming, only to grow up and realise that maybe he just doesn’t exist. In Dizney Rascals, Rebecca […]

The Love and Devotion of Ridley Smith
Which is more important – morals or money? It sounds like an easy question, but the truth is, sometimes we don’t really get to make that decision. We do what’s best in the circumstances, even though we’re not always convinced. Ridley Smith (Tom Machell) works in the city – a life of stocks, shares, money… […]
Fantastic Mr Fox
The Little Angel Theatre’s small stage is creatively transformed into the woods and farmland of Roald Dahl’s the Fantastic Mr Fox for a puppet adaptation of the story.

Briefs: The Second Coming
Oh my, what can I say about Briefs which I saw last night at the London Wonderground? A troupe of beautiful boys in a comedy/cabaret/circus/burlesque show that is a transfixing feast for the eyes!

REVIEW: Evita at London’s Dominion Theatre 2014
I always say the beauty of theatre is that everyone has different opinions. One mans trash is another mans treasure. Some people will love a show and others will hate it.

You Should Be So Lucky
You Should Be So Lucky is Above The Stag’s latest offering. A far cry away from their last production Bathhouse the Musical, this more serious show is billed as a contemporary gay Cinderella story.

Albion
Chris Thompson’s powerful new play focuses on the rise of the far right in modern-day Britain and reflects issues immediately relevant and straight out of today’s headlines.
