Review: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Southwark Playhouse)
(PR Invite) Toby Hulse’s 80 minute adaptation of this Shakespeare classic has its own special kind of magic — not just from the fairies and enchantments, but from the pure joy of childhood imagination.

Review: TWO
(PR Invite) Set in a typical British pub, Jim Cartwright’s TWO explores the role of the local in community life. This production transforms the theatre’s own bar into The Clock and Compass, with the entire 90-minute play performed in the space. It’s an immersive setup that places you right in the middle of the story as it unfolds. The closeness makes it feel less like theatre and more like spending an evening in your local alongside the regulars.

Reviews: Adult Panto [Unscripted]
Adult Panto [Unscripted] is 55 minutes of utter chaos…but in the best possible way.

Edinburgh Fringe 2025
My first time at Edinburgh Fringe and I attended the festival for three days. Although the main reason for the trip was to perform with the choir I am in, I still managed to fit in quite a lot of shows in a short period..here are my thoughts!

Review: Little Shop of Horrors
(PR Invite) The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre has been a big part of my life over the years – I’ve seen so many incredible touring productions there – but this trip felt a little different. Little Shop of Horrors was their very first in-house production, and I knew there was no way I could miss such a big moment for Irish theatre.

Review: Ms. Julie
(PR Invite) Edward Neale’s adaptation of Strindberg’s classic Miss Julie brings the story forward almost a century to 1985, as the miners’ strikes are coming to an end — bringing a more modern take on the class tensions and emotional manipulation depicted.

Review: The Musical of Musicals (The Musical)
(PR Invite) This 90-minute musical parody follows a struggling theatre group who can’t pay their rent. To convince their landlord they can attract audiences, they pitch five different musicals telling the same story — each styled after a different iconic composer: Rodgers & Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerry Herman, Stephen Sondheim, and Kander & Ebb.

Review: The Comedy About Spies
Mischief Comedy are back in the West End with a brand-new 1960s spy spoof — and it’s everything you’d hope for: total chaos, razor-sharp timing, and the perfect mix of clever and ridiculous. I’ve cried laughing every time I’ve seen it!
