An intelligent and at times, raucously funny tale of a boy discovering his sexuality.

A memorable version of the Dickens classic momentarily side-tracked by the food!

Pros: A perfect venue dripping with atmosphere and an eerie sense of expectation. Cons: Hysterically shrieking members of the audience breaking the tension. Plays in the West End are often short lived as they can rarely depend on customers returning to the same show.  The ultimate exception is of course Agatha Christie’s  Mousetrap, which has been running continuously in London since 1952.  A distant but creditable second is The Woman in Black, a mere stripling of only 25 years standing. ...

A brilliantly entertaining send up of disaster movies.

Shakespeare’s greatest hits with a hint of Frankenstein make for an innovative and entertaining new take on the Bard’s work.

Songs packed with humour and pathos make the difference in an otherwise routine treatment of a mainly true story.

A funny, well observed study of a woman searching for a new direction in life.

An engaging two-hander relating how someone can be struck down by illness and, given the right treatment, come to terms with — and even overcome — their condition.

A ponderous, undistinguished play that fails to find any real direction or sense of purpose.

An immensely likeable version of the Samuel Beckett classic with some real laugh out loud moments.
