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: Anyone Can Whistle at the Southwark Playhouse
Originally a huge flop for Stephen Sondheim, bringing back this largely ignored show back after 58 years was a strange choice. Especially as it is the first staged Sondheim production to open in the UK since his passing last year. Anyone Can Whistle lasted only a mere twelve previews and nine performances on Broadway before …
Theatre Review: Hex at the National Theatre
** SPOILERS AHEAD ** If I could use two words to describe Hex at the National Theatre, it would be ‘utterly bizarre’ – sometimes in the best way, and sometimes in the worst way. There was no inbetween. Which is why I’ve decided this was a solid three star show for me. What is it …

Theatre Review: Feathers, Gutter Street (Lion and Unicorn Theatre)
** This review may contain spoilers ** When I went to see High Riser a couple of months back, I read about Gutter Street’s previous work and thought ‘ah man, Feathers would have been great to see too’. Luckily for all of us, they have brought it back! A big thank you to Gutter Street …
Theatre Review: Hairspray, The London Coliseum
You can’t stop the beat at the London Coliseum right now! This joyous and energetic musical has, for the past few months, been delighting audiences as one of the first musicals to reopen. It’s actually a relief to see shows that had planned to open before the shutdown still being able to open. The cast …
Theatre Review: High Riser, Gutter Street (Young Actors Theatre)
I had the pleasure of being invited by Gutter Street Theatre Company to review their new play, High Riser, at the Young Actor’s Theatre last night. It was wonderful to be seeing a new original play in such an intimate setting. The plot High Riser explores the life, struggles and hardships of a fictional rock …
