Friday, 2nd February 2024 at Pleasance Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Based on real events- which you can hardly believe actually happened- Awkward Productions’ Gwyneth Goes Skiing is a deliciously campy drag/comedy that, despite the occasional hiccup, will leave any audience member (in the words of Linus Karp’s Gwyneth) “gooped and gagged” for more....

Friday, 2nd February 2024 at York Theatre Royal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cronus and Rhea. Aphrodite. Zeus and Hera. Persephone. Dionysus. Eurydice and Orpheus. Aside from the wonderful poetry of the names, the stories of the Greek gods are an assortment of the unexpected, the macabre and the downright bizarre. Orpheus Dismembered takes audiences on a whistle stop... Continue Reading →
Wednesday, 31st January 2024 at Charing Cross Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes From the Wild West to the West End, Bronco Billy - The Musical is a zany, uplifting comedy-drama about reinvention and following your dreams. Based on Clint Eastwood’s 1980 American-western comedy-drama of the same name (yes, another film-to-musical adaptation!), Bronco Billy premiered in Los... Continue Reading →
Friday, 26th January 2024 at The Cockpit Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Though the premise is intriguing, “The Ending” doesn’t quite deliver what it says on the tin. Billed as “what happened after the classic story of Orpheus and Eurydice,” you might expect a re-jig to the ending of the classic myth. The ending,... Continue Reading →
Tuesday, 16th January 2023 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mischief Comedy strike gold yet again with the hilarious Peter Pan Goes Wrong, a top notch farce full of surprises led by an excellent cast. It’s exactly what it says on the tin, this show: “Cornley Youth Theatre” are putting on a production... Continue Reading →
Friday, 12th January 2024 at The Turbine Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Charlotte Dawes Every Londoner has their own stories of the weird and wonderful things they have seen take place on the tube. Cockfosters creates a melting pot of those scenarios in a laugh-out-loud 60 minutes, which is amazingly shorter than the journey depicted in the show (Heathrow... Continue Reading →
Wednesday, 10th January 2024 at Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The stage adaptation of Life of Pi is a stunning piece of theatre, a spectacle-driven piece which is as visually rich as it is emotionally compelling. Much like watching War Horse or The Lion King, this show is a glowing example of why... Continue Reading →
Saturday, 13th May 2023 at Leeds Playhouse ⭐️⭐️⭐️ John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, once a GCSE text staple (remember the spoilers helpfully left behind in the margins by the outgoing Year 11 students?), is currently finishing up its tour at Leeds Playhouse. Following an unlikely pairing of itinerant workers during the Great Depression, this... Continue Reading →
Wednesday 26th April 2023 at York Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Based on the celebrated 1992 Baz Luhrmann film and promising to lift the curtain on the competitive ballroom scene, this show offers comic glimpses of backstage squabbles, underhanded dealings and blossoming love alongside some impressive dance numbers. The story? Scott Hastings and partner... Continue Reading →
Thursday 29th March 2023 at Camden People’s Theatre, London ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Just by reading the description of Dia-Beat-Es, performed and written by Paul O’Donnell (who self-identifies as ‘he/him/bro/dawg/homie’), one might think: Oh, is he serious? You might also consider, this is either going to be wildly offensive or wildly successful. I’m pleased to... Continue Reading →
