Tristram Kenton

To say that life has been difficult for those working in the performing arts during 2021, would be an understatement of the highest order. That said, those working in the industry have risen to the challenge - it hasn't always been easy, but credit to all of those that have ensured that 'the show must go on'. Very best wishes to everyone involved in the world of theatre - and many thanks to our team of reviewers who have attended many performances this year (over 400). Things can (surely) only … [Read more...]

It started with putting a status on Facebook if anyone wanted to surprise a … [Read more...]
