Review: Firebird
(PR Invite) Every once in a while, you come across a play that completely hooks you, and you want nothing more than to see it again after leaving, still thinking about it days later.
This is exactly how I felt watching Firebird — an incredibly harrowing and powerful story about Tia, a girl who has been in care since she was three. She forms a connection with a man she thinks she can trust, but it ultimately unfolds into a deeply real story about grooming.

Review: I Made You A Mixtape
(PR Invite) I Made You A Mixtape is neither a play nor a musical – something we're told at the top of the show. What it is, though, is a really beautiful piece of theatre. One that I genuinely teared up at multiple times while simultaneously watching with the biggest smile on my face.
