★★★★★I Know You of Old –

Golem Theatre’s alternative to Much Ado About Nothing made a one-night visit to London after successful performances at the RSC’s Dell. Excellent performances from David Fairs, Conor O’Kane and Zena Carswell, together with tighter direction from Anna Marsland.

Seriously fun, feel-good touring production of this well-loved musical. Excellent performances especially from Rita Simons.
★★★Fun Home – Young Vic Theatre
An engaging musical based on the life story of American illustrator, Alison Bechdel. Hard-hitting, engaging performances in this unusual take on a musical.

Royal Stratford East – see review
A fascinating insight into the lives of the Windrush generation as they first arrived in the United Kingdom. Tremendous performances in an emotionally-charged and quite shocking play.

★★★★★The Rink – Southwark
Playhouse – second and third visit - see review
Kander and Ebb’s musical with Caroline O’Connor and Gemma Sutton is pure Broadway gold! Supported by a wonderful ensemble, this is pure magic and razzmatazz, especially the tap routine on roller skates, brilliantly choreographed by Fabian Aloise. West End transfer, please!

Looking forward to next month with Prom Queen, Fat Jewels, It Happened in Key West, Two for the Seesaw, Locked Up, Give my Regards to Broadway and, no doubt, many more along the way!
