3 Years, 1 Week and a Lemon Drizzle, Underbelly, Bristo Square (Jersey) – Review
Pros: A heartening celebration of sisterhood. Cons: Eating disorders are poorly understood conditions and I wish the play had delved into it more. It is estimated that in the UK there are between 600,000 and 725,000 people affected by eating…

Pros: The importance of keeping the memory alive on the centenary of the end of WWI. Cons: This is a work in progress, which could benefit from the contribution of a dramaturg. When Winifred Lucy Hall died in 1978, her…

Stiffs, The Space on North Bridge (Perth Theatre) – Review
Pros: It’s fun and makes time go fast. Cons: The storyline can be enriched with more comedic material. Two lads wake up in an unfamiliar room lit in violet, dressed only with an hospital gown and covered up to their…
