BEFORE AFTER: A Reflection

It feels too late after the event to call this a review, but all the same I wanted to share a piece on what this show means to me. Stuart Matthew Price & Timothy Knapman’s Before After first came into my life back in 2014 – I attended the workshop performance at the St James […]

Company – Gielgud Theatre, October 20th, 2018

When people ask me who my favourite musical theatre composer is, I can and will answer immediately: Sondheim. For me, his work just says so much about life, people and relationships, and I think it’s really witty, heartbreaking and thought provoking, sometimes all in the space of a single scene! That being said, I’m the […]

As You Like It, National Theatre – December 6th 2015

As you may have already gathered, I’m a bit of a Shakespeare nerd. I love the vibrancy, intensity and colours of his language and he is responsible for creating some of my favourite characters of all time. Admittedly though, I confess I generally prefer the tragedies to the comedies, so am not as well versed […]

City of Angels, Donmar Warehouse, 20th December 2014

Oscar Wilde once said that: “Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.” In the case of the musical City of Angels though, I think it’s a little of both. Hollywood comes a callin’ for Stine, an author who dreams of adapting his novel for the big screen; a novel which features a dashing […]

Hadley Fraser @ St James Studio, February 16th, 2014

Last weekend saw me make my first visit to London of the new year, and a third visit to the wonderful St James Theatre to catch two of my favourite kind of show… a Hadley Fraser gig. I’d last seen Hadley being all Shakespearean and badass as Aufidius in Josie Rourke’s MAGNIFICENT production of Coriolanus […]

Fairytale of New York @ St James Studio, 8th December 2012

So now I’ve sadly come back down to earth, I thought it was about time I filled y’all in the immense Saturday I had with many of my friends and four phenomenally  talented and wonderfully lovely people in my favourite city in the world. I was joined by my good friend Kristine, and seeing that […]

Hadley Fraser @ St James Theatre, 28th October 2012

So this Sunday just gone was as close to my idea of perfection as I think it’s possible to get, all thanks to a combination of three things: being in my favourite city in the world, with a good majority of my fantastic friends all to see an extremely gifted artist and pure all round […]

Finding Neverland 11/10/2012

So, I have indulged one of my childhood fantasies- on Thursday I went away to Neverland, courtesy of the brand new musical from Harvey Weinstein and an incredible team of people: Finding Neverland, based on the hit film of the same name. The musical’s current home is the Curve Theatre in Leicester, which I have […]
