March Theatre Preview
The year may not be so new now, but after an excruciatingly long January and a contrastingly fly-by February nearly gone, a brand new month is almost here and will bring with it a brand new season as its plus-one. Spring is all about new life and in London’s West End, a fresh crop of theatre is emerging from the frost of winter – so lets take a look at some of the hot picks of what the month of March has to offer: COMEDY One Man, Two Guvnors: Richard Bean’s English adaption of Carlo Goldini’s comedy (originally titled … more »
Why theatre is a real and relevant art form in today’s society
Musical theatre has often been accused of being nothing more than ‘light entertainment’, labelled with a stereotypical image of fluffy glitz and jazz hands. Anyone who has actually been to a West End show and experienced it for themselves though, will tell you that there is so much more to the world of musical theatre. In the interest of honesty, yes, there are some shows which could be found guilty of favouring spectacle over substance, but there are far more that deal with very real and relevant themes. Les Miserables is probably the show which first springs to mind: … more »

Stephen Fry and Mark Rylance Twelfth Night Apollo Theatre Tickets
In the household of Olivia, two campaigns are being quietly waged one by the lovesick Lord Orsino against the heart of the indifferent Olivia; the other by an alliance of servants and hangers-on against the high-handedness of her steward, the pompous Malvolio. When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet chain of events follows. Filled with a cast of unforgettable characters, Twelfth Night combines cruelty with high comedy and the pangs of unrequited love with someof the subtlest poetry and most exquisite songs Shakespeare ever wrote. The Globe revisits its award-winning Twelfth … more »
Richard III Apollo Theatre Tickets
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is determined that he should wear the crown of England.

And woe betide those – the women he wrongs, the henchmen he betrays – who dare to raise a voice against him. Monstrous, but theatrically electric, Richard is Shakespeare’s most charismatic, self-delighting villain, revelling at every moment in his homicidal, hypocritical journey to absolute power. An all-male Original Practices production, Richard III will explore … more »
Things to see in London: The MTA Revue, Songs of David Are and Carley Stenson’s cabaret
I may have grown up in London, but for the past ten years I’ve been living in a small seaside town on the Kent coast. Picturesque it may be, but quiet and uneventful would also be apt adjectives – especially in the winter months when everything shuts down for the season. One of the things I miss about London is one of its best features: any night of the week, there is always something going on somewhere. This is certainly true of theatre. In addition to the wide variety of plays and musical that are continuously running in the … more »
