Given past successes, expectations were high for Teddington Theatre Club’s pantomime for 2018, and the director, Bill Compton, and writer, Daniel Wain, do not disappoint. This very traditional Dick Whittington gives its largely very young audience exactly what they want and, exactly as it should, … [Read more...]

Sleeping Beauty at Theatre Royal Stratford Theatre
This year Theatre Royal Stratford presents Sleeping Beauty. As usual, Stratford East have added their own twist to the traditional story.

Audiences at Nine Night do not see the funeral of Lorraine’s (Natasha Gordon) mother Gloria: just as well, as someone with Caribbean roots said to me … [Read more...]
