OMG, turns out that #Show #47 of #2017 was Her Divine Highness #StVincent @o2academybrix. What a performance, Annie Clark alone on stage for 90 minutes and truly deserving of her Prince-substitute status. This gig is going take a week to sink in, and this is an artist I think we are all gonna have to catch up to because she is so far ahead of us. #future Well done @chk_chk for braving your stupid foot.

Show #46 of #2017 is another from #JamesGraham, #LabourOfLove, and I knew nothing about the play when I walked in. #MartinFreeman was indisposed, but no matter, because #TamsinGreig was cracking as always. Competing with #Ink a few doors down, it has to be said that Ink is the better play and production, due to some dodgy performances from the non-leads here and too much rambling, but still a good night of #londontheatre #theatre #london

Excellence at @<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/almeida_theatre“>almeida_theatre continues for #Show #45 of #2017: #Albion. #MikeBartlett back on form. #Wild was good but the final third went like they’d run out of ideas. This, however, is magnificent, an epic. And frickin’ long, too, but totally captivating. Love @<a href=”https://www.instagram.com/almeida_theatre“>almeida_theatre, love the space, love what they do. Wish they had a cloakroom, though. It’s always bloody raining when I get back to the bike and have to get changed. #theatre #londontheatre

Show #44 of #2017 is a great show in the making, #SaintGeorgeAndTheDragon, with themes of #totalitarianism, allegories of Brexit and the messages of history. Quite accomplished, good work from @nationaltheatre #londontheatre #theatre
43 | Tuesday, September 19, 2017
Show #43 of #2017 is at my local theatre, @orangetreetheatre, which I have shamefully neglected, but it’s #DavidStorey’s #TheMarchOnRussia and I’m looking forward to it…

Oh yeah. Show #42 of #2017! #Wings @youngvictheatre - always look forward to seeing #JulietStevenson on stage, or in this case, suspended above it for a few hours! #theatre #londontheatre #london #yvwings
Rufus | Tuesday, September 12, 2017
An emotional night @nationaltheatre when #Rufus popped out before the show to pay tribute to #PeterHall and lead a standing ovation to the man. Show #41 of #2017: #Follies. #StephenSondheim is a genius, absolutely magnificent show with a stellar cast, and I do believe I have something in my eye… #londontheatre #theatre #london
Show | Friday, September 8, 2017
A bit late, but mostly because #Show #40 of #2017 was a bit dull. #QueenAnne which was planned to be an interesting bookend to #MaryStuart, except that Mary Stuart beats the pants off it hands-down. Still, first and probably last visit to @theatreroyalhaymarket - a well-kept #theatre in the West End. #londontheatre

Show #39 of #2017 was my first #NTLive at #michaelfrayntheatre and a cracking performance from all concerned. An excellent way to experience theatre, particularly with the angles and close-ups, variety that you can’t get in the auditorium, so kudos for creating a new experience. #billiepiper #brendancowell #simonstone
