Last night, I went to see Ian McKellen on Stage – the one-man show that is currently touring the U.K. The show was extremely enjoyable, but I was more in awe of the man himself.
True West: Theatre Review
December 18, 2018 by Leave a Comment
I first saw Kit Harington on stage in 2016 in Doctor Faustus, which I didn’t really enjoy, but it was hard to say if that was down to the Game of Thrones star or the weird adaptation of the source material. Anyway, I decided to give him another shot when True West was announced, because it’s a play by the late Sam Shepherd and his co-star is Johnny Flynn, who was fantastic in Beast.

I had NO idea what A Guide for the Homesick was about – I literally went to see it because I knew I would see Douglas Booth in the intimate space of Trafalgar Studios’ Studio 2.
Why you should catch Vanessa Kirby’s performance in Julie in cinemas
September 11, 2018 by
Vanessa Kirby‘s run in the National Theatre’s Julie ended last weekend, but I would highly recommend you catch it when it screens in cinemas over September and October, because her performance is incredible.
The Lieutenant of Inishmore: Theatre Review
July 19, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Most people would assume I booked tickets to see The Lieutenant of Inishmore purely because of Aidan Turner, and while the star casting is usually the main reason for my theatre trips, this time I was more there for Martin McDonagh‘s writing, as I loved his scripts for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and In Bruges and wanted to check out his stage work.
Theatre Review: Orlando Bloom is the weakest link in Killer Joe
June 20, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Orlando Bloom was one of the main reasons I booked tickets to see Killer Joe – besides really liking the Matthew McConaughey-starring film – but his performance was the one I ended up watching the least because he was easily outshone by everyone else.
John Boyega in Woyzeck: Theatre Review
June 15, 2017 by Leave a Comment
As a fan of Star Wars and therefore John Boyega, I had to go and check out Woyzeck, which is currently showing at London’s Old Vic. He puts in a decent performance and proves he can do stage acting too but I wouldn’t recommend the play itself.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Theatre Review
April 12, 2017 by Leave a Comment
I don’t always do theatre reviews because I don’t really consider myself well-versed in this area but I know a good performance when I see one and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? boasts not one but four. So of course I had to write a gushing post.
Speech and Debate: Theatre Review
March 6, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Patsy Ferran, Douglas Booth & Tony Revolori
I bought tickets to Speech and Debate solely because of Douglas Booth but during the show, I soon forgot about him in favour of Patsy Ferran, who was the star of the show.
Billie Piper in Yerma: Theatre Review
August 18, 2016 by Leave a Comment
I saw Yerma more than a week ago and I haven’t been able to write a review until now because I was so blown away by it. I didn’t know what to say except ‘wow’, which is hardly the basis of an articulate review so I hung around until I could formulate my thoughts.
