Between Ten and Six
Rating [rating=3] Reviewed by Michaela Clement Hayes A flat in North London. A ticking clock. Pea stew. Snap. Death.

Beautiful Thing
Wilma’s Rating [rating=5] The stars were out in full force at last nights press night for Beautiful Thing at the Arts Theatre.

Princess Mononoke
Rating [rating=4] Reviewed by Holly Raeburn Most films are a hard task to translate to the stage and Princess Mononoke is certainly ambitious. A two and a half hour Japanese animation by studio Ghibli, Hayo Miyazaki’s story of myths, forest spirits, battles and gods addresses the fundamental point of man versus nature and the […]
