Wodehouse In Wonderland.
Theatre Severn
February 6th - 8th
Quite often one is faced with paradoxes as reviewer. Great tunes poor lyrics, or great plot badly acted and so on. This show is a paradox in quite a different way. One was presented with an almost perfect Stanislavskian performance from a superbly skilled actor, only to see the slow plotless script bring the whole thing down.

When one goes to watch a production by the National Dance Company of Wales one expects to be not only entertained but to be challenged.

I have missed so much telling you all about my theatre trips but I have been using my time wisely during this unprecedented state of affairs. Here is something I wrote to give us all hope. I hope you enjoy it and find that extra ounce of strength you need for the final push!

Outside tonight in the dead of night, the silence like a shroud,

Fame
Theatre Severn
Monday 28th January-Saturday 2nd February
There was a whole host of intrigue into the operations of the American Fame Academies.

Vampire’s Rock Ghost Train
Theatre Severn
25th January 2018
Well as the precursors to this show tells us, Steve Steinman has ramped up the vamp..more like ramped up the camp. More of that later. A pretty packed theatre had gathered to see how things had changed since we all saw them last in their Vampire Rock show.
Imagine the scene: The centre stage is filled with a clever bit...
