A pacey, good-humoured tour of movie songs and the women who sing them that showcases Hersh Dagmarr’s charm but only hints at the sex and glamour of his subject.

Review: Jack and His Giant Stalk, Brick Lane Music Hall
A very funny, superbly written and performed, out of season panto at a surprising venue that’s not where you’d expect it to be – and a three course meal too!
