Memphis the Musical – Shaftesbury Theatre
Back in October 2014, Memphis the Musical opened in London’s West End and this is what I said in my review: “If London is the theatre capital of the world then Memphis with Killian Donnelly and Beverley Knight must be the best show in the world. Two triple threats that when combined raise the bar […]
Actors have better sex lives than any other profession!
New research released by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site, shows that actors have better sex lives than any other profession, beating models, lawyers, politicians and bankers.

Cats – The Palladium
There’s a line sung by Gus, the Theatre Cat, where he says that ‘these modern productions are all very well, but there’s nothing to equal from what I hear tell’. My feelings about Cats could not have been summed up finer than by him. Cats tells the everyday and ordinary story of the […]

A View From The Bridge – Wyndhams Theatre
‘A View From The Bridge’, by Arthur Miller, was written by the playwright during the five years that he was married to Marilyn Monroe: consequentially it’s easy to speculate and draw parallels between the subject matter of the piece and the preoccupations of its author at that time. The play tells the story of Eddie […]
Do we loathe or love people who film during theatre shows?
Mobile phones are the biggest frustration to regular theatre-goers lives, constantly being riled up by having the person next to them checking their Facebook every ten minutes and distracting their eyes from the action taking place on stage. Despite announcements being told that no mobile phones or recording equipment should be used, this rarely stops people. […]
Macbeth – Lost Theatre
Claiming to strip the story back to the text, David Shopland’s Macbeth also asks us to find the humanity within each character. Witches, birth-strangled babes and prophecies aside, Shakespeare’s Scottish play is about ambition, arrogance and betrayal as the characters stop at nothing to further their own situation. The play is the playground of the […]
