Potted Panto at The Garrick Theatre
No year is complete without a trip to the panto each Christmas. This year I was fearful that I wouldn’t get my annual trip(s) to my festive favourites but I needn’t have worried, Potted Panto at The Garrick swooped in to save my festive season. Potted Panto promises 7 pantos in 70 minutes. This means […]
Theatre Shop – Mystery Box
When the Theatre Shop contacted me to ask if I would be interested in receiving one of their mystery boxes I jumped at the chance. Who doesn’t like some stagey merch?! With all of the boxes being different I hope my write up of the box won’t give away too much of the surprise but […]
Next Thing You Know at Garden Theatre

Is Theatre Covid Safe – My Experience
Theatre Land can be a contentious place sometimes and the current discussion about how Covid safe theatre is a prime example of this. It all came to a head following Songs For A New World at The London Palladium, produced by Lambert Jackson. I attended the evening performance and the safety measures visible to audience […]
Songs For A New World at the London Palladium

Pippin at The Garden Theatre
Pippin is a show I have seen numerous times and in many different styles but seeing it in an outdoor theatre with just 6 performers was a first for me! The show tells of ‘Pippin,’ son of the king who wants to lead an extraordinary life. He tries to find this in many places, from […]
Jesus Christ Superstar at Regents Park Open Air Theatre

Fanny & Stella is based on true events and real characters and takes the audience back to 1871 when homosexual relationships were against the law but this didn’t stop Earnest Boulton and Fredrick William Park from dressing up as Stella and Fanny both on and off stage and in Stella’s case becomming Lord Arthur Clinton’s […]
