    A Week In The Life | Squeezing In The Holiday Shows

    Hi! Hello! Happy New Year! I’ve really struggled with the blog in the past few months, so think it’s time for a brand new format. I’ve basically turned into a very scatty theatre reviewer, where I’d only review shows if I absolutely had to. And even then, they’d go up SO late because I’d struggle…

    A Midsummer Night’s Dream @ Young Vic

    After hearing much acclaim of Joe Hill-Gibbons’ production of Measure for Measure at the Young Vic, I had to get a ticket when it was announced he was directing my favourite Shakespeare play. While the play has it’s classic comedic moments along with a fantastic cast; I did find myself wondering what the point was…

  • Ah, Wilderness! at the Young Vic.
