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, […]
Having seen Looking Good Dead at the Orchard last year, I was looking forward to my second Peter James thriller. Something a little different to the stellar musicals that they have hosted in Dartford recently. But for me, not having read any Peter James, there was an air of mystery around the storyline. The bio […]
What could be better than a night out watching the nation’s (and my own) favourite film on stage? Nothing, in my opinion, so I happily trotted up to The Orchard Theatre in Dartford last night to see The Shawshank Redemption. Many of you will be familiar with the film if not the book, but in […]
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 […]

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 […]
After a week apart it was back to the Orchard to not only enjoy tonight’s viewing, but was also kindly invited to catch a glimpse of what was coming to the Orchard theatre in the coming months! Getting insights from directors and writers of said productions too! I have a a lot to look forward […]
After a month and a bit off, due to the birth of my daughter. I was back at the Orchard for a night off and was very much looking forward to viewing this play again! Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, is based on one of the world’s best selling novels of the […]
Guest Reviewer Harri Douglas, took a trip to London: I only just made it to this one! It hit my radar a while back and I was keen to see it, but I didn’t realise it was quite such a limited run. Thankfully, my social media targeted ads are pretty on point, and reminded me […]
After a week apart, it was time to return back to the Orchard for the first play production of 2022! This would be my 2nd Peter James production I have had the pleasure in viewing, previously having caught House on the Cold Hill in 2019. Hours after discovering a forgotten USB memory stick on a […]
