AKINDOFPEOPLE | Friday, December 6, 2019
#AKINDOFPEOPLE: this could be really good, worth catching for the interesting takes on race in 2019, let down by 1-dimensional characters. That said, sophisticated story meets hopelessly unsophisticated people is arguably the story of the referendum. Definitely worth going to see. #theatre #londontheatre #gurpreetkaurbhatti
DUCHESSOFMALFI | Thursday, December 5, 2019
#DUCHESSOFMALFI: hmmmm. It’s starting to look like #SummerAndSmoke was a complete fluke for #RebeccaFrecknall after the insipid #ThreeSisters (which had absolutely everything going for it) and now this. It’s not bad but not good enough either. Production very good, as usual, though. Needs editing, better changes of pace and a bit more drama, I think. I’m hoping it’ll all get sorted during these previews because I am rooting for the new AD of the @almeida_theatre and plan on seeing all her shows. 🤞🏽 #theatre #londontheatre
ONLYFOOLSANDHORSES | Wednesday, November 20, 2019
#ONLYFOOLSANDHORSES: a must-see as it’s @pippaduffy making her unimpeachable West-End debut as #Cassandra and, well, the entire cast is on fire. From left to right, @imbobbond, the incoming Director of Drama at St Mary’s, Pippa and @oscar_c_m_ who has the best role(s) in the whole show. #theatre #london #delboy
THEATRE | Saturday, October 26, 2019
#THEATRE: #AliceBirch is truly fabulous, and #Blank is a monster of a play, 100 scenes allowing the director to choose. #CleanBreak is a “company working with women affected by the criminal justice system”. Apologies to @rjcrookshank but the ticket was hard to turn down! #london #donmarwarehouse

#THEATRERECOMMENDATIONS: don’t go and see this play #Translations #pretentious #theatre #london @nationaltheatre
KENNINGTON | Thursday, October 10, 2019
#KENNINGTON: #RubyDoll @jessrelationshipcoach puts on the best show in South London, ably directed by @imbobbond and holds a mirror up to a jaded bunch of urbane shoegazers to teach them some fresh perspectives on life. A career in writing high-end musical theatre awaits. #relationships #theatre
Lorca | Saturday, September 28, 2019
Another #Lorca tragedy but only ⭐️⭐️⭐️ this time @youngvictheatre - good, but far from magic. Pacing a bit off. #theatre #londontheatre
CarylChurchill | Thursday, September 19, 2019
Surprise addition of a fourth new play to the three originally lined-up, very welcome and a generally excellent night: strongly recommended based on this preview. #CarylChurchill @royalcourttheatre #theatre #london
TheKingOfHellsPalace | Wednesday, September 18, 2019
Always great to see @jasonosterman on a rare trip East, but we had to leave #TheKingOfHellsPalace early; Interesting-ish story, I don’t know where they found this cast but there was more engaging acting talent behind the @hampstead_theatre bar. Still, a quick taxi up to @thehollybushpubhampstead made for a better night in a lovely pub… #theatre #london
julietstevenson | Thursday, August 22, 2019
I would happily watch #julietstevenson peel potatoes all day and she’s terrific in this, a bit too terrific for most of the cast are struggling to keep up with her. #RobertIcke fucking with everyone’s heads for a brilliant and uncomfortable look at the modern world one last time at the wonderful @almeida_theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #theatre #londontheatre
