I begin with a confession: this play is my introduction to the work of Alan Bennett. Yeesh, it feels scary to admit that as someone with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in English Literature but there we are. I love the fact that I’m still discovering and learning about all these works even now so […]

Now on its second UK tour following a hugely successful West End run from 2015 – 2017 and a five year engagement on Broadway, the opening night of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical proves as warm, witty and joyous as ever it was. Charting the start of her career from a spirited teen determined to […]
I started this year with a resolve to see more shows that are new to me, kicking off with a ballet and an unexpected early entrance to the SIX queendom in Cardiff. I’m pleased to say the trend has so far been continuing and earlier this month I headed back to London to catch a […]
On Saturday 15th, in another exciting first for me here at Wheelie Stagey: I was invited to a public dress rehearsal of a play called MEAT written by playwright and dramaturg Gillian Greer at the Soho Theatre.
