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.

I have never seen Romeo and Juliet on the stage, which may be considered some type of crime for an avid theatregoer like me. So what better introduction than a production starring the gorgeous Lily James and Richard Madden, who recently worked together on Disney’s Cinderella?
Gemma Arterton pulls out of Nell Gwynn performance

I’ve just got back from seeing Nell Gwynn. Last year I saw Gemma Arterton in Made in Dagenham and she was fantastic so I booked my ticket excited to see her onstage again. So imagine my disappointment when I arrived to discover that the actress was sick that night and would not be performing.
The Maids: Theatre Review
March 30, 2016 by 3 Comments
I had never seen or read Jean Genet’s 1947 play The Maids, but when I saw the cast announcement – it stars Orange is the New Black’s Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes), Downton Abbey’s Laura Carmichael and Fresh Meat’s Zawe Ashton – I thought it sounded too good to pass up, and then I discovered it is directed by Jamie Lloyd, the man behind James McAvoy’s star turn in The Ruling Class. I simply had to book.
The End of Longing: Theatre Review
March 21, 2016 by Leave a Comment
I love Friends, so it is no surprise to anyone that I had to check of The End of Longing and support Chandler Bing, ahem, Matthew Perry in his first time acting and writing for London’s West End. The reviews have been mixed to say the least and friends who have seen weren’t too convinced but I really enjoyed it and I recommend you check it out.
Nicole Kidman in Photograph 51: Pics and review
September 12, 2015 by 5 Comments
Last night I went to see Photograph 51 starring Nicole Kidman at London’s Noel Coward theatre and I would encourage you all to go. Science is rarely put on the stage and it highlights a piece of scientific history I never knew, so I found it fascinating. It’s only in previews still, so I imagine it will be even better when it officially opens.
Beautiful – The Carole King Musical: Theatre Review
August 23, 2015 by 1 Comment
I went to see Beautiful – The Carole King Musical on Friday and I simply had to come on here and rave about it because I thought it was brilliant. I had no idea who Carole King was but since it won rave reviews on Broadway, I had to check it out and I’m glad I did. It is a truly enjoyable night out and also pretty powerful and emotional.
