You can’t beat #tennesseewilliams at the @almeida_theatre for seething emotion. Show #4 of the season is #SummerAndSmoke. Recommended and great to see #patsyferran stretching out after a run @royalcourttheatre. #londontheatre #theatre #theatreseason2018to2019

So your humble correspondent will be covering a full season of #theatre all the way into 2019, and this is the opener, #Jubilee, but still #3 of the season. An adaptation of the original - and utterly shit - Derek Jarman film. But, has the wonderful #LucyEllinson in it. #londontheatre #theatreseason2018to2019 #lyrichammersmith

And so begins #LondonTheatre2018! Great to be back at @royalcourttheatre for #AnoushkaWarden’s debut, #MyMumsATwat. Show 1 of #2018, but no target this year… #theatre #londontheatre

The End. A year well-spent, project target was one #show a week and I hit 57 in total. Changed my world, changed my life, here’s most of the evidence to remind me in years to come. Amassed a vast amount of theatre knowledge, met many excellent fellow theatregoers and seen mostly fabulous shows. Top five of the year could be #AnatomyOfASuicide, #BarberShopChronicles, #Ink, #FilthyBusiness and #Follies but almost impossible to choose. Next year’s project? Who knows. #theatre #londontheatre

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 | Wednesday, November 15, 2017
#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
52 | Saturday, November 4, 2017
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
