At last! I have the ability to update my poor neglected website again, and have managed to add my pages on the Wish Hound project. Poor old wish hound’s been sitting about for months waiting for some attention. Having my pictures on semi-permanent display is great – I get a lot of nice people contacting [...]

Review: Peter Pan at Kensington Gardens

The Neverland Pavillion, custom-built, looms on the horizon like the Taj Mahal. They said the play would be performed in a tent. If this is a tent, I’d hate to see their idea of a camper van.

This particular production, with its two principals flitting and bouncing gleefully off each other like your two craziest uncles in a pub on a Sunday afternoon, was sheer joy.

I suppose I should just get this out in the open.
The fact is, I love ballet. In the same way I love musicals, the same way I love plays, the same way I love any kind of stage show.
I’m a fiend for spectacle, raw talent mere feet from my own talentless face, something unfolding live [...]

So, yesterday, I went. Of course I did: I’m one of those obsessives who wears their colours on their sleeve along with their heart (messy, this: imagine what happens when you get your sleeve in the soup).
Peter Pan El Musical is not what a lot of people, I imagine especially British people, would expect. It’s almost [...]

I spent an absolutely marvellous day in London yesterday. Funny: I’ve lived close enough to London for years to have done all the touristy bits twice and thrice over, but I never seem to get there.
First time for everything. I started off my day on South Bank – avoiding the usual hordes of tourists who [...]

In the spirit of wanting to indulge in more culture this year, I went right ahead and indulged in the Birmingham Stage Company’s Treasure Island at the Marlowe Theatre yesterday.
I must say, I was quite impressed. The actors were pictures of enthusiasm the whole way through, many of them taking on two or more roles [...]
Now I have officially crossed over into hyper nerd-dom.

Because I have to see this so badly it almost hurts.
I just love things like this: cross-genre, cross-language, practically cross-dimensional. Last weekend I went to see Tosca at the Royal Albert Hall (which was splendid) - now, I find this absolute treasure concept of theatre spectacular, courtesy of a copy of the Evening Standard I picked [...]
