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 […]
It’s always a pleasant surprise when an otherwise empty Friday night becomes an opportunity for a theatre review, thanks to The Churchill Theatre in Bromley and their run of DocDoc. Morris Gilbert and Óskar Eiriksson present the UK premiere of Laurent Baffie’s DocDoc, directed by Ian Talbot and translated by Julian Quintanilla. Dubbed ‘the hilarious […]
From the get go, it’s such a delight to see new and exciting theatre to help introduce kids into the world of theatre! So when I saw that Room on a Broom was coming to the orchard west, I asked if I could come along and review but also bring my little one with me! […]
This was a new one for me. I like a good thriller, but Anthony Shaffer was a little before my time. Before tonight I’d never seen Sleuth – in the theatre or the 1972 film starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine – but when the Orchard Theatre (West) contacted us to say it was on, […]

I was intrigued when the Orchard announced this new comedy play, Jumping the Shark. I had no idea what to expect, but as it was written by David Cantor and Michael Kingsbury – the writers of one of my favourite BBC comedies, My Family – I was ready for some laughs. Taken from the Orchard’s website: Comedy’s no […]
Rose Reviewer Harri Douglas kick started her 2023, with her first viewing in London this year! The lucky show was The Lion Witch & Wardrobe! lets see what she thinks: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is possibly my all-time favourite book from my childhood, andwhen I saw it advertised at the Gillian Lynne […]
Christmas 2021 was not a good time for theatre-goers, and my trip to A Christmas Carol at the Old Vic was just one of many to fall victim to covid cancellations. Fast forward a year and we finally made it! Not even the train strikes would make us miss it a second time. I’m sure most of you are […]
