Review of The Mirror Lies at the Cockpit Theatre

November 16, 2016 Last updated: January 2, 2023 4:59 pm By Rachel Borland

The Mirror Never Lies

The Mirror Never Lies is a musical play performed centre stage with the audience surrounding. It uses minimal props and vintage film and asks you to really ‘buy’ into the 1960s Carnaby Street era using just your imagination. The music and lyrics are very authentic with the keyboards channelling the psychedelic atmosphere and the craving for mind expansion and search for intellectual and personal improvement reflected. The story is a traditional tale of older woman shuns man of maturity and … [Read more...]

How Does That Make You Feel? at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre

August 23, 2016 Last updated: January 8, 2017 2:10 am By Rachel Borland

How does that make you feel?

Part of the Camden Fringe, How does that make you feel? had me grinning from start to finish with quite a few belly laughs along the way. Have you ever found yourself ‘sleep strangling’ your husband? Forgetting to tell him that the brakes don’t work on the car? If so, you made be in need of some relationship counselling. This brilliant written short play is well worth an hour of your time at the very pleasant Lion and Unicorn Theatre. John Hill has captured the extremes of a dysfunctional … [Read more...]

Review of A Little Princess at Theatre N16

July 6, 2016 Last updated: July 5, 2017 1:13 am By Rachel Borland

A Little Princess

I am in awe of such an amazing amount of talent in one small space. It is hard to believe this company consists of students of prestigious drama schools and universities. Their skills are accomplished and developed way beyond their years and experience. Adapted and directed by the Graduates of Durham University, this beautiful and much loved children’s story by Frances Hodgson Burnett is brought to life with puppetry and song, using a unique score written and performed by the students from the … [Read more...]

Sherlock Holmes and The Invisible Thing – Review

June 10, 2016 Last updated: July 5, 2017 1:13 am By Rachel Borland

Sherlock Holmes and The Invisible Thing

The ‘Invisible Thing’ is not an original work of Conan Doyle but instead a quirky but very faithful tribute to the world’s most famous detective. The writer, Greg Freeman, has obviously studied his subject closely and the resulting play is worthy of using the name ‘Sherlock Holmes’. The set itself spoke a thousand words being impeccably dressed for the period and style of the Sherlock Holmes era; the costumes and details were impressive and set the scene perfectly. The casting is perfect. … [Read more...]

Review of Black Shuck at The Bedford Pub

May 15, 2016 Last updated: July 5, 2017 1:13 am By Rachel Borland

Black Shuck

The Bedford is a fantastic little venue in up and coming Balham. Very lively and steeped in history and character; the perfect place to watch a little ‘Fringe Theatre’. Black Shuck is a brilliantly written short piece by Duncan Hands. In one hour he manages to create an atmospheric scene that walks the fine line between comedy and horror. That’s how I like my horror; laced with a bit of humour so it’s not so scary. With just two main characters involved in one ongoing extremely dubious and … [Read more...]
