“Jesus Christ Superstar” has enjoyed a number of high-profile revivals in recent years and continues to be a popular choice for amateur dramatic societies. Its powerful music, timeless themes, and flexible staging make it a perennial hit with both audiences and performers alike. Tonight it was Dartford Operatic Dramatic Society’s time to bring this rock […]
It was back to the Churchill Theatre, Bromley to catch this weeks production. The play, Inspector Morse – House of Ghosts. Having not really caught the tv series, I did not know what was in store – but I do love a classic whodunnit and trying to figure it out before the end. Sadly, this […]
There is a part of me that felt like I had absolutely no business being at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley this evening to watch Fawlty Towers: The Play. And looking around at the average age of the audience mostly confirmed that thought. The first series came out in 1975, 25 years before I was […]
I was so excited to be back at the Churchill, I didn’t realise how long it had been since I was in an audience and I couldn’t wait to be seated in the auditorium for tonight’s opening performance and press night Calamity Jane! In the heart of the Wild West, Calamity Jane follows the story […]
As much as I adore Cirque du Soleil, it is getting harder to justify what are now pretty eye-watering ticket costs, particularly on an annual basis. Not that the performances aren’t worth it; it’s just an expensive habit to form. Still, our usual circus group headed back to the Royal Albert Hall to see this […]
I became a Stranger Things fan pretty late into it; at least three series were out before I caught up with the craze. I then binged it, and having desperately waited for Season 5 for what feels like an eternity, plus being a massive theatre fan, I was pretty excited when they announced Stranger Things: […]
My most recent book club read was The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives by Lola Shoneyin, so it was rather fortuitous timing that the Arcola Theatre recently did a run of the play, adapted by Rotimi Babatunde, and directed by Femi Elufowoju Jr. With the book fresh in my mind, I went over to […]
I have a bit of a review backlog that I need to get through from a number of non-PR theatre visits, but before I do, it was a delight to be back at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley for this evening’s performance of Just Between Ourselves. Just Between Ourselves was first presented to theatres back […]
After a lovely holiday away it was great to be return to the Churchill for a mum night off and best yet a chance to view a gripping piece of theatre. Rachel Watson is an ordinary women, who is desperate for another life. Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train […]
Both the original TV series that this play was adapted from, and the actual events the story is based around, pre-date me, so I had to do a bit of reading before attending to bring myself up-to-speed. However, as a history student I was fascinated to learn more about unemployment in the 1980s (I’ve been […]
