This was a Valentines Day trip to the theatre, I pretty much had no idea what to expect, I did think I was going to watch a musical, but no, this was a play. And a funny play at that, with some very sharp acting, this was a National Theatre Production transferred to the West … More Home I’m Darling
This was the final set in the Pinter at The Pinter by numbers, I saw all but Pinter 2. And after being completely puzzled by Pinter 1 I found myself enjoying each one more as I understood more about where the ‘mini-plays’ were coming from. Over the series I saw some amazing actors – listed … More Pinter 7
This was one I booked a while ago, it came to the stage in London after playing to audiences across North America for 3 years. I was early to my seat so had a good chat to a couple of people sat around me. My neighbour was last in, still in plenty of time, he … More Come From Away
My Monday evening theatre trip took me to the Playhouse Theatre to watch this musical. Luckily this is a theatre I’ve been to a couple of times, I left my phone at work so had no instructions to follow. Annoyingly I couldn’t keep track of the distance I walked either. My seat was in the … More Caroline or Change
When is a live performance not a live performance? Can I claim a live screening in a cinema as one such? Well, La Traviata was really quite amazing so I’m going to, I just have to write about it! The Royal Opera House amongst others have a Live Cinema Season – those to come are … More La Traviata
This is a Royal Shakespeare Production playing at the Garrick Theatre in Charring Cross Road. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know anything about the play or Don Quixote so had no idea what to expect. I had dinner at Bill’s in Brewer Street before I walked to the theatre, I’ve been using the Bill’s … More Don Quixote
A trip to Hammersmith for this one, a theatre I’d never been to, The Lyric. When I set off on my journey from Essex it seems a long way away, but with 2 lines heading straight to Hammersmith from Liverpool Street, the journey was a smooth one, an opportunity to read one of my Christmas … More Leave To Remain
I booked Pinter 5 after I got home from watching Pinter 6, having been flummoxed by Pinter 1 I’ve become a bit hooked and will have seen 6 of the 7 in this series and I’ve only just discovered the reasoning behind the series – Pinter at the Pinter is part of the Pinter 10 partnership with the BFI, The … More Pinter 5
Today I travelled up to London to watch Hamilton, I’ve just checked back and I bought my ticket last June, so, a 7 month wait! I’ve seen people mentioning the show and one such asked if I’d listened to the soundtrack. That was something I hadn’t done before I went to see a show, but … More Hamilton and all that Hype
In 2018 I decided to expand on my annual trip to the theatre on New Years Eve by having ‘A Year of Theatre’. I’d started to see more theatre in 2018 but expanded things this year. It’s been such an amazing experience I won’t be stopping in 2019. I really wish I’d written about each … More A Year of Theatre
