We Will Rock You By Cygnet PlayersCygnet Players have embraced the spirit of We Will Rock You rather than being constrained by its weaknesses. By leaning into the humour, delivering the music with confident and investing heavily in technical design they have created a production that feels bold and unapologetically theatrical.

Last night I was incredibly proud to be part of this concert which focused on performers from a global majority background and embracing what it means to be a theatre kid! Diversity in amateur theatre has a long way to go but last night was just a small snippet of how much talent is there if people genuinely want to do the work.

Thank you to @kaiseyelder and @tesh_samuel92 my fellow co-directors for agreeing to take on this show with me and for @jpmrkshlm @lakeisha.louise @steamedbaos @emaemusic @in_the_moment________ @ddubz_99 @cheyonscene @kyannacronshaw for not only their stunning performances but for being a joy to work with! Finally thanks to the audience who supported it!

These clips show a small glimpse of the talent from dsm desk for the night -I was calling cues for much of it so couldn’t capture everyone (sorry!)

I headed to the rehearsal room of @seawitchmusical where I got to see the likes of @nataliemayparis, @djavanvande @amydibartolomeo and the rest of this cast doing their thing! The show is on for one night only, 1st March at Theatre Royal Drury Lane and it’s sounding insane already!!

Well I adored this one!!
@haroldfrymusical understands that grief, love and forgiveness rarely arrive in grand gestures; more often they creep up on us, step by step, mile by mile. I arrived at this show knowing nothing and left feeling everything!

My thoughts on American Psycho at the @almeida_theatre

You may leave questioning whether you enjoyed it, but that uneasy aftertaste is very much the point. American Psycho remains a chilling reminder that beneath the surface polish, something rotten can still be smiling back at us.

Ok jumping on this trend & to be fair it seems fairly spot on- theatre, law & frenchies!!! Not sure why I have a playbill considering I’m in London but we can overlook that!!

I finally saw @cablestmusical for its run at @marylebonetheatre

A timely and effecting piece of musical theatre that succeeds as it places people at the heart of politics rather than the other way round.

Last night I headed to Theatre Royal Drury lane to

Last night I headed to Theatre Royal Drury lane to see Jo- The Little Women musical. It feels like a production with undeniable scale and talent, still searching for its point of difference. With refinement, sharper pacing and a clearer sense of why this version of Little Women needs to exist, Jo could yet find its voice.

I finally saw @totoroshow and I regret waiting so long…. A masterclass in theatrical storytelling, blending exquisite puppetry and live music to transport the audience to a world where the ordinary and the magical coexist.

2016 throwback!
1. Website in its early days but started getting invites to press nights. This was for ‘Bumblescratch’ (look it up)
2. Performing and pole dancing in @bromleyplayers production of Rock of Ages
3. My love for Rocky Horror (and a leather corset) never fades
4. OG blurry programme shots!
5. Still Standing outside of theatres….not much changed!!

🎭✨ My 2026 Stagey Bucket List ✨🎭 If 2026 is going

🎭✨ My 2026 Stagey Bucket List ✨🎭

If 2026 is going to be the year of more theatre, this is what I’m manifesting…
From heading back to the Edinburgh Fringe, to discovering new venues, new am dram groups and prioritising accessible performances, this list is all about curiosity, inclusion and joy.

Some are long overdue, some push me out of my comfort zone – all remind me why I love theatre in the first place ❤️

Any recommendations to help me tick these off? 👀👇

My first show of 2026 is ticked off!! I headed to

My first show of 2026 is ticked off!! I headed to @bobhopetheatreeltham for the final Panto of the season and to support lots of friends!! So proud of them all!!

Panto is such a good way to introduce children to theatre but the price often prevents it! Please do check out local theatres as you really can’t complain at tickets at £14/£16!!

Kicking of 2026 with things I want to see more of

Kicking of 2026 with things I want to see more of in amateur theatre! I’ve got a new post up on my website today about diversity in amateur theatre, where I speak to individuals from societies who are doing things well and pass on some things we can all learn!

What would be on your list?
