The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs, produced by Damsel productions, is currently running at The Soho Theatre until 11th June. I went along and was totally blown away!

Damsel Productions have added all the ingredients to make this a 5-star production. The Piece is set around a lesbian choir in Soho. We meet the choir’s seven fully paid-up members and choir … [Read more...]

Illicit Signals Bletchley at the Crypt, St Peter’s Close, Bethnal Green
It is the duty of every citizen to answer the call to support and protect the United Kingdom and its allies so last night, while the rest of the country were watching Eurovision, I went to off to a secret location, in east London, to join the ‘radio makers’ involved in new immersive experience Illicit Signals Bletchley.

Harold Pinter’s The Dwarfs at the White Bear Theatre
Harold Pinter only ever wrote one novel. And, let's be honest, he didn’t rush into this literary endeavour. He started it in 1950 and the book was finally published in 1992.

The Breach at Hampstead Theatre
How far would you go for the people you love? What lies would you tell? What sacrifices would you make?

Acton, however, finds other protection in two boys, Hoke and Frayne, with … [Read more...]
Julius Caesar at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
“All political lives, unless they are cut off in midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure, because that is the nature of politics and of human affairs.” A statement that is as true today as when it was first uttered in 1977. In fact it was true back when William Shakespeare wrote about a Roman general, statesman and member of the First Triumvirate, whose political life ended in death and dishonour. The play was Julius Caesar, and I had the opportunity to see it recently at the Globe … [Read more...]
