A review of the musical You Are Here, on now at the Southwark Playhouse. This is a warm and engaging production with a top notch team behind it. My First Post-Lockdown Musical I have managed to spread my return to live performance over several different arts. I’ve been to a ballet, play, opera, and now […]
A review of two exhibitions at the Photographers’ Gallery in Central London. The work of Sunil Gupta addresses challenging and personal topics, and Evgenia Arbugaeva creates a dreamscape of life in the Russian Arctic. A Tale Of Two Exhibitions It’s been a long time since I’ve reviewed anything at the Photographers’ Gallery! The last time […]
A review of Fly in League With The Night, an exhibition of works by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye at Tate Britain. A refreshingly contemporary offering from the more traditional of the two London Tate galleries. Discovering Lynette Yiadom-Boakye I love learning about artists I was not previously familiar with. I was very pleased, therefore, that Tate Britain […]
My first opera outing post-lockdown is a late work by Mozart. I’m undecided on whether this is a masterpiece, but it’s definitely an entertaining evening out. La Clemenza di Tito [The Clemency of Titus] I have said to you before that I’m not the best qualified reviewer of ballet. Or classical music. Let’s just go […]
A review of my first pub theatre outing post-lockdown: AAAAA by Proforça Theatre Company.

Shall I be very honest with […]

Reunited (With The ENB) And It Feels So Good! Yesterday marked the first time I have been to a live indoor performance since December. Coincidentally that was […]
A part-live, part-recorded, gameplay, Zoom call version of Romeo & Juliet has me feeling a little conflicted. Theatre Truly Embraces The Online Channel It feels somehow apt to be reviewing a forward-looking online version of Romeo & Juliet on the day that theatres and other cultural venues reopen in England. The last 18 months have […]
A refreshing take on the theme of touch and connection from an Australian artist in London. Valerie Ellis is one to watch. Touch Me by Valerie Ellis: Connecting Despite It All It’s interesting. I’ve commented once or twice on how much new theatre writing in the last year has focused on the theme of human […]
A review of the Robert Mangold exhibition currently on at the Pace Gallery, London. In which I have the luxurious experience of having the place to myself on a weekend morning. Slow Art On A Saturday Morning I continue to very much enjoy the experience of getting back into art in person via commercial galleries. […]
A review of the exhibitions now on at White Cube Bermondsey. Both Park Seo-Bo and Jessica Rankin bring a splash of colour and a slow approach to art which encourages mindful viewing. Compare And Contrast At White Cube Bermondsey We continue our exploration of London’s commercial galleries today with not one, but two artists. Both […]
