The penultimate #show of #2017, which is number #56! And it’s gotta be #TheSnowman, really :) I prefer the book, blah blah blah, but looking forward to it before heading home for Christmas dinner - German-style - Merry Christmas everybody! #theatre #londontheatre #christmas

Three weeks feels like an eternity between theatre visits, I may have ruined my life by developing this habit. Anyway, #Show 55 of #2017 is a brand-adaptation of #TheTwilightZone and I have foolishly booked the first night of the previews. Ah well. If they even get close to the feel of the original TV show I will be shivering. Hopefully another winner from @almeida_theatre this year, so far the last eighteen months have been spectacular. #theatre #londontheatre #london

#Yaaaas Show #54 of #2017 is #Network! Loved the film, and it’s #BryanCranston’s #london stage debut. Hoping #IvovanHove doesn’t fuck it up like everything else. It’s the first proper night after press night. #Letsdothis #theatre #londontheatre Verdict: 6/10, ropey production, poor attention to detail, Caroline Faber’s accent made me cringe and Tunji Kasim’s acting and accent were both pretty flakey. Some good moments, but some poor camera lens choices and poor production choices. NT can definitely do much better. Good work from Bryan Cranston.

Show #53 of #2017 is an overlooked-classic that I really needed to see, #TheWomanInBlack, genuinely jumpy, enhanced by all the teenagers in the audience screaming! @dailykorin always welcome company too #londontheatre #theatre #london

SHOW #52 OF #2017! A double bill Saturday due to @<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/jameswrighton“>jameswrighton nudging me to see #Beginning before it goes. It’s the last night, I nabbed the last ticket. Fabulous show, hopefully @<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/jameswrighton“>jameswrighton and @rjcrookshank will let me know when it’s next on… 52 shows this year, so target hit and it has truly been the most fantastic year, never been so happy and theatre has probably done that. Won’t manage this again, at least for a long time, but if you can do it, do it. Still a few shows to go, too! #londontheatre #theatre #london

Early gin o’clock with Show #51 of #2017: #TheLorax from #DrSeuss, the first adaptation for the theatre ever. Didn’t catch it first time, happy to catch it now before its world tour. Fabulous production and jokes-a-plenty for all ages… #londontheatre #theatre #london #nokevinspaceyhere

Show #50 of #2017 is #FlorianZeller’s follow-up to #TheTruth, #TheLie! Pretty much constant laughter, recommended for the mature audience :) Almost hitting the 52 Show target for this year… #londontheatre #theatre #london

On Wednesday, I ask Sue, so I know #B sucked but how was #VictoryCondition? ‘Excellent,’ said she. ‘And you know @jonjooneill is in it?’ AH! Last show this Saturday! So I snuck an extra show in this week, #49 of#2017 @royalcourttheatre because (a) haven’t been here for a while and (b) I saw #Unreachable twice last year on the strength of aforementioned thesp’s performance. I saw #NuclearBunker too, with Sharon Duncan-Brewster, but still trying to figure that one out.

#Show #48 of #2017 was a fabulous surprise at @parktheatre: #WeShadows about connecting the search for identity with #EnochPowell. I’ve learned more in one evening than I have in the last week. A slightly mushy start but found its rhythm quickly and settled into possibly the most insightful play I’ve ever seen… #londontheatre #theatre #london
