Eugene O’Hare’s second full length play, Sydney and the Old Girl is a wickedly funny, black comedy, showcasing Miriam Margolyes’ talents to the full, whilst also providing meaty roles for the other two actors in this three-handed play. Sydney Stock has lived for over fifty years cooped up with his mother Nell in her grubby […]

The soap opera storylines will be as eventful as ever, but seem to hit closer to home, at least for irregular viewers such as yours truly, during the festive period, and there are plenty of people in the world who spend time with people whose presence they […]

I must qualify this, however – […]
