Well, here we are: a new year and a new decade! As I did going into last year, I just wanted to take a bit of time to reflect on where I’ve been and where I want to go in 2020. 2019 was a pretty immense year for me in terms of being creative as […]
Manchester seems to be the place where I’m slowly building up some amazing theatrical memories. I’ve seen my favourite leading man in a play inspired by a famous chess match, gone into the woods courtesy of my favourite composer and yesterday got to go back in time to the world of vaudeville and old school […]
As always, this year I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some incredible pieces of theatre, and with the year soon coming to a close, I wanted to take the time to celebrate my favourites I’ve seen this year. There’s dance and more plays as well as musicals, as this year I made a more concerted […]
Ever pick up a book that draws you in, only to find you’ve actually read it before? Such was the case for me here as I revisited the fourth novel from Natasha Solomons: The Song Collector. In 1946, Hartgrove Hall has seen better days. Brothers Jack, George and Harry Fox Talbot (known as “Fox”) must […]
On December 12th, I, like most of the country went out and voted in the General Election, the 3rd in my lifetime that I’ve been able to vote in. This election was the first one I’ve felt properly engaged with and interested in, after months of feeling disillusioned with the political landscape; so this particular […]
As some of you may know, I’ve been reviewing for BroadwayWorldUK since December of 2016. It’s been brilliant to flex my writing muscles and share my love of theatre on a bigger platform, and since I re-branded and relaunched this little blog in 2018, I’ve had dreams of building it and among other things, reviewing […]
When I see shows, I like to try and get my thoughts up on here as soon as possible, otherwise it feels a bit redundant in my mind to do it at all. With some shows, that’s really easy to do – what I want to say comes very easily. However, I’m reminded that all […]
You might remember in July last year, I saw my favourite leading lady Kelli O’Hara in the flesh after years of admiring her from afar; cursing my disability and how it impacts my inability to travel abroad unless someone is able to physically lift me for the flight and beyond. I felt incredibly lucky to […]
It was announced last week that the Broadway smash hit Moulin Rouge would be making its way to this side of the pond; and though we have to wait until 2021, I was overjoyed by the news, for two reasons: its at a theatre I really like in terms of my seat and as is […]
I’ve been going to the theatre regularly for eight years. That’s eight years of falling in love with stories, characters, words, music and stagecraft. I love this industry, I really do – it brings so much joy to my life in a whole host of ways – both big and small. I think an […]
