I've set up a new theatre blog collating all my theatre reviews, past and present. I'll also be including photos and programme images where I have access to them, and encouraging others to submit reviews. So if you attend / like theatre (or opera, or ballet), do check it out:

 Wow, I haven't posted here in a little while. I've mostly been stolen by tumblr, which is easier to post to from a mobile as I spend far less time doing social media stuff on my laptop. I was thinking about getting a laptop that's a little more portable, which would allow me to write more and blog more; any recommendations?

In the meantime, I wrote ( Read more... )

I appear to have bankrupted myself somewhat with theatre. OTOH, I now have tickets to Mamma Mia (mother's day), Book of Mormon (my birthday), and Peter & Alice (dearest

A very happy Easter to all those observing it. I've had quite a busy Easter weekend, all in all.

And just briefly, Madame de Sade at Wyndham's is a crock of bulls&*%. Do not pay money to see it. Even Dame Judi couldn't save this from being a complete waste of time. The only bright spots were Dame Judi and Frances Barber, and they were criminally underused. Rosamund Pike was hideously earnest throughout; a terrible one-note performance with no ( Read more... )

Tonight I saw The Fever by Wallace Shawn at the Royal Court Theatre ( Read more... )

I saw Complicit at the Old Vic tonight, courtesy of athena25. I knew nothing about it going in, and had some bizarre impression that it was a period drama (possibly because it had David Suchet?) that was quickly dispelled by the beautiful - and very tech-heavy - in-the-round stage. The floor was raised, and glass, with screens panelled at odd angles ( Read more... )

I'm back. Didja miss me?

Last night, queenspanky, wingsmith and I went to see Now or Later, a new play by Christopher Shinn at the Royal Court Theatre. ( Read more... )
