Tonight I am at the press night of the brand new musical Redcliffe at the Southwark Playhouse Borough. Redcliffe has been a work in progress for a short while now, and I was lucky enough to see their Act One workshop at the Turbine Theatre during MT Fest 2024. The show now plays, for the very first time, in its full glory, and it’s marvellous to see how […]
There are certain productions that remind audiences exactly why local theatre remains such an essential and cherished part of community life, and TWODS’ magnificent production of Evita at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Royal Tunbridge Wells is unquestionably one of them. From the moment the curtain rises, the Tunbridge Wells Operatic and Dramatic Society delivers a performance filled with confidence, ambition and remarkable theatrical flair. Staged at the […]
The Last Laugh is one of those wonderfully comforting evenings at the theatre that sends you home smiling. Warm, funny and packed with affection for a golden age of British comedy, the play feels less like a formal stage production and more like spending time in the company of three old friends who just happen to be comedy legends. The premise is simple but inspired: Tommy Cooper, Eric […]
Cult musicals often survive on atmosphere as much as performance, and The Rocky Horror Show continues to attract enthusiastic audiences eager for a night of outrageous fun and audience participation. The latest touring production, starring, at some venues, Jason Donovan as Dr Frank-N-Furter, certainly delivers spectacle and energy, but it is a surprisingly uneven evening that too often mistakes volume for excitement. There is no denying the affection […]
The sequins sparkle brighter than ever in a brand new show from The Lady Boys of Bangkok, Full Moon, a gloriously extravagant evening of song, dance and laugh-out-loud entertainment that proves this long-running spectacular has lost none of its irresistible appeal. From the moment the music begins, Full Moon sweeps the audience into a whirlwind of colour, glamour and high-energy fun. It is a show that knows precisely […]
Very few musicals leave fingerprints on your heart quite like Blood Brothers. From the opening note, this production grips the audience with the quiet dread of a story already doomed, yet impossible to look away from. What makes Blood Brothers so enduring is not simply its tale of separated twins and class division, but the way it turns ordinary lives and a simple story into a superstitious drama. In […]
PLEASE NOTE - This is an ADULTS ONLY show. This week I have the absolute privilege of attending the press night of Derrière on a G String at the fabulous King’s Head Theatre and honestly… what a fabulously naughty, utterly bonkers, fever dream of comedy this show is. Created by Some Smith and Moore, and directed and choreographed by Alfred Taylor-Gaunt, this gloriously ridiculous production throws physical comedy, […]
Theatre can entertain but it can also inform and educate and that is most definitely the case for this Olivier Award winning play, The Boy at the Back of the Class, aimed at children but which has a lot to say to adults too. It’s based on the children’s bookof the same name by Onjali Q. Rauf, and adapted by Nick Ahad for the stage, and tells the […]
On the evening of the 22nd of September 1994, a pilot of a show about a group of ‘Friends’ living in New York was aired, and the rest as they say is history. It became iconic, lasted for ten years, and everyone around the world knew who Monica, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Rachel and Ross were and the actors who played them became international stars. They felt familiar and […]
