Wednesday 19th November 2025 at the Grand Theatre and Opera House, York ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Slava’s Snow Show is quite simply a joy. It’s an experience, celebrating all the best that theatre can be when it’s at its most free and expressive. Possibly best described as being enveloped in a dream world of surreal creativity, the show... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 10th September 2025 at Leeds Playhouse Reviewer: Branagh O’Shaughnessy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Karis Kelly’s Consumed promises hungry ghosts and skeletons, and I have to say it delivers, just not in the way you would expect. Four generations of women are reunited for Elieen's 90th birthday, set in a homely and somewhat cluttered kitchen in Bangor (set:... Continue Reading →
Thursday, 27th February 2025 at Union Theatre, Southwark ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Almost 60 years on from the harrowing mining disaster, Mr Jones explores the unfathomable loss of the forever-altered Welsh village of Aberfan.

Tuesday, 25th February 2025 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House ⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the pens of Paul Whitehouse and Jim Sullivan comes the musicalised stage version of classic sitcom Only Fools and Horses: wise-crackingly, eyebrow-liftingly and elbow-nudgingly nostalgic and entertaining, but not necessarily a cracking musical. Caroline Jay Ranger directs, and it’s a likeable cast... Continue Reading →

Saturday 12th October 2024 at Leeds Grand Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Midsummer Night’s Dream is undoubtedly one of Shakespeare’s greatest works. Inventive, playful and magical with a characteristically dark underbelly, the twisted tale of supernatural beings toying with amorous (or plain foolish) mortals is a real winner. Here, the tale takes shape as a three act... Continue Reading →
Friday, 27th September 2024 at Leeds Grand Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s 1791 opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) is a fantastical tale in two acts. With Libretto by Emmanuel Schikaneder but sung here in English according to Jeremy Sams’ interpretation, Opera North’s revival of their 1978 production is wonderfully accessible. Alongside the accessibility of... Continue Reading →
