Theatre Review: The Ocean at the End of the Lane at the Duke of York Theatre
I’m lost for words. This show was easily one of the best pieces of theatre I have seen in a long time. It was a completely mesmerising and a wildly creative way of telling Neil Gaiman’s beloved story. I am in awe at what the creative team have accomplished in bringing this fantasy novel to …

Theatre Review: Bonnie & Clyde Concert at the Drury Lane
Well… the news is out! Bonnie and Clyde is transferring to the West End. And what a special evening at the theatre this was! Having obsessed over this show for a decade, I never thought I’d ever see it in any form on a West End stage – especially not in one of the largest …
