When I saw the @criteriontheatre was doing a zoom play reading of this production back in May 2023 I completely freaked out, playing a multitude of these characters on a zoom for 2 hours made me feel so safe in a new space where I was still keeping part of my identity on the down-low. And that…

Going into its 11th year on the West End, the Duchess Theatre is STILL home to the Play that Goes Wrong with a brand new cast at the Corley Drama Society’s Murder at Haversham Manor. From the moment you step through the doors you are totally immersed in the chaos, and that only leads to…

This brand new reading at the Pleasence by the Yve Blake, writer of Fangirls is one of the craziest and unforgettable plays I have ever seen. Mackenzie is a best of both worlds retelling of Shakespeare’s GCSE Classic Macbeth and this DOUBLE SOLD OUT reading definitely deserves every hype. This reimagines Macbeth as Mackenzie ( @dylanmulvaney ),…

The debut satirical production from Red Lens Acting brings a new staged perspective on the Post Office Horizon scandal. First staged in 2022 (that also featured a few cast members from this cast!) False Accounts tells the story of the subpost masters in their fight to be heard against a ‘VERY ROBUST’ computer system hen…

Serving camp realness in Birmingham city centre, Do You Hear the People Sing(Along) offers tunes everyone can sing along to. Die hard theatre fans will love belting out Rent and Cabaret, whilst the more casual fans will adore the songs of We Will Rock You and Sunshine on Leith, all of which can be sung-along…

Shakespeare fourth wall breaks meets local rugby in an underdog spectacle after a bet gone wrong means Mark Roberts’ Arthur must train the worst club in the northern county to beat the Cobblers Arms (the ‘Real Madrid’ in the northern rugby world) This play marks the Loft’s 6th production this year and whilst the book…

This is a musical that I have quite a moral conflict with (as most people do when seeing this show). Since listening to the songs at the ripe age of 14 I LOVED IT but when I knew it’s the very messy storyline and processed that as I grew older: this adaptation made me cringe…

Spitfire Girls currently playing at Birmingham Rep, tells the impeccable story of two sisters. The protective older sister Bett (Katherine Senior), and the reckless and confident Dotty (Laura Matthews), as they are accepted into the ATA (Air Transport Auxiliary). We get a fly on the wall insight into their training and life as female pilots…

This musical was made for anyone who’s had a role model but particularly the bonds you make in church and choir. With @beverleyknight back on home turf professionally for this first time in her career this isn’t a night to miss with @zo.ndlovu matching her A game with harmonies and powerhouse vocals that bounced off the ceiling. Set in…

This photo I believe sums up tonight’s experience. A musical that has well and truly changed my life. A story of connection, hope, music and humanity in the time of crisis. It is no new information that the world is struggling now more than ever and this musical sets a reminder of the real meaning…

If you know me well enough I LOVE new work and this was genuinely one of the most amazing stories I’ve seen. Not to mention the cast!! Absolutely STACKED. @lppulford as Lucy Muir completely blew me away in the most incredible way (also very much appreciate seeing Coventry people in the spotlight! – yes we both freaked…

Sydney Poitier (Ivanno Jeremiah) is about to go into the biggest meeting of his life. His best friend Bobby (Oliver Johnstone) has written a movie for NBC that he wants Sydney to star in and this is all meant to sign the papers and get shooting… but. Mr Parks (Stanley Townsend) has other plans. In…

Centering around the years after Fran and Bobs youngest child Rosie (played by Alice Arthur) returns early from her travels this intense family drama laced beautifully with physical theatre (choreographed by @danwalshdance) has twists and turns EastEnders would be jealous of and was executed perfectly. Given the timing of this production some storylines hit harder than…

Back on the old stomping ground tonight with this stunning fly on the wall production of ‘2 Pints’ centring 2 men and the conversations they have across the bar over a pint across 3 days. With my family Irish background and upbringing these conversations are ones I’ve heard across bar counters every day and while…
