I like the Etcetra Theatre. Above a pub on Camden’s ever bustling High Street, it seems to pride itself on being a bit of a pioneer for new, experimental, sketch comedy. A close friend of mine has been lucky enough to perform there with his pretty controversial but entertaining comedy group and I feel quite connected [...] Read more »
I’m a big fan of The Orange Tree theatre in Richmond – not only for it’s beautiful, intimate space but also for it’s friendly and welcoming staff – and therefore was incredibly happy to be back. As always, I knew nothing about the performance when I went in and I am glad of that fact. The [...] Read more »
Ah, “Utopia”: ‘An ideal community or society’. Such a shame the performance at the Soho Theatre didn’t follow suit. Such high hopes, such disappointment. I was desperate to see it purely because of the title. I like to think I know quite a bit about Utopias, Dystopias and even Hetrotopias. Just because I’m a bit of [...] Read more »
I always have a good time at The Blue Elephant Theatre whenever I go, even if the performance isn’t incredible, breath-taking, thought-provoking and all those other pretentious phrases used to describe artistic expression. So I jumped at the chance to see “The Fantastical Adventures of [Not] Being With You” with a smile on my face and those [...] Read more »
Having never been to The Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond and hearing nothing but good things about it, I was quite excited to have the pleasure of going to this magical and mysterious place, right on the outskirts of London. As part of their 40th birthday celebrations, the night comprised of three performances – “The Burglar Who Failed”, “Return [...] Read more »
After a beautifully glorious day of lazing in the sun, eating ice cream, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to end the evening than with a trip to the Theatre, particularly when the performance stars Charlie Clements of Eastenders ‘Bradley’ fame (yes, he was my favourite and yes, I did cry when ‘Bradley’ died). Stepping into the [...] Read more »
The night I went to see “Machines for Living” at the Blue Elephant Theatre was a strange one. Having wanted to see it for two weeks previously, and being a self-confessed ‘fanatic’ of the Theatre itself, I was incredibly excited to be there – persuading my writer friend to come with me, too. However, as I [...] Read more »
For me, Edward Bond is the ‘Don’ of Modernist Theatre, so to see three of his plays in pretty much as many weeks is a massive treat! Being a Bond play, I had absurdly high expectation of ‘Chair’ at The Lyric Hammersmith. As the final part in the Dystopian Trilogy, I thought I was well prepared [...] Read more »
It’s no secret that I’m in love with The Blue Elephant Theatre so, as I approached the building for their first ever showing of “For How Much?/Underfoot” (2 Dance Theatre performances in 1 night) I was, quite obviously, rather excited to be back! As ever, the staff were friendly – albeit a little nervous, of course – [...] Read more »
When I think about the night I went to see two out of three of “The Chair Plays” by Edward Bond, I immediately think of the fact I ate too many sweets on the tube journey home and crawled into bed with stomach ache. I wasn’t over-eating out of boredom or disappointment because the plays [...] Read more »
