Brighton Beach Memoirs by Sedos
Brighton Beach Memoirs is a play that, going in to see, I knew very little about, but knowing that the author was Neil Simon, it was a show I was very much looking forward to seeing. Brighton Beach Memoirs revolves around Eugene Jerome, a teenage boy from a Jewish Polish family, growing up in Brooklyn […]

Who Killed Marilyn is a new play that sets out to put Marilyn at the centre of her own story, sweep aside everything you may have heard about her and her untimely death and discover what really happened to her.

To Kill A Mockingbird at Wyndhams Theatre
To Kill A Mockingbird is often cited as one of those books that many of us read at school and is on lists of books one ‘should’ have read and for me it had also made its way onto my theatrical bucket list following its 2018 adaptation, luckily this latest West End run finally gave […]

We follow them from their initial meeting through to their train ride to Sarajevo and watch their manipulation unfold. The play by Rajiv Joseph is an interesting exploration of the manipulation and the radicalisation of young men. In the first […]
