5th Aug 22 :: Review: Lipstick on your Collar
First halve was not good, second part was better. The boys were great, the lady not, and her outfits, maybe not suited.

1st Aug 22 :: Review: Are You Being Murdered?
Absolutely dreadful! How can this be a murder mystery? The only mystery is how can they call it a mystery?!? Waste of money. Wanted to walk out. Dated and unfunny

29th Jul 22 :: Review: Are You Being Murdered?
We saw the first performance of this on Wednesday afternoon in Eastbourne. We just didn't get it. The seventies don't translate very well into today's entertainment. Arthur worked hard and was quite entertaining but the script was totally underwhelming. Sorry, we were teenagers in the seventies but We didn't enjoy it.

24th Jul 22 :: Review: The Pirates of Penzance - Summer Youth Production
What amazing performances from the entire cast and orchestra of The Pirates. All the players were under 21 but showed professionalism beyond their years. And what’s more they were all enjoying it as much as the packed audience. Well done everybody for a very enjoyable theatrical experience. Up there with d’Oyly Carte of old.

10th Jul 22 :: Review: Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice - Him & Me
A brilliant show, Anton and Giovanni are funny, natural and amazing dancers. The rest of the cast were great too. Saw them in Birmingham and we smiled and laughed from beginning to end. Loved it ! Thank you .

28th Jun 22 :: Review: The Play That Goes Wrong
I just don't get it. The show doesn't make me laugh at all, it is too predictable and basically a one-joke show. Coarse acting shows just rely on continuous repetition, slap-stick and obvious "fails"... if you see a prop or bit of set then you can guess what will go wrong. Professional cast do very well but the material is thin ... this may be why most coarse cating shows are one-acts!

26th Jun 22 :: Review: Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice - Him & Me
This show will have you laughing, smiling and most of all enjoying the amazing dancing from full cast. What a great afternoon at the Lowry. Great to see the personalities of both stars shining through. I thought the dancers and singers were some of the best I’ve seen at a show like this.

25th Jun 22 :: Review: Unknown T0
First half ,It was quite obscure ,Great for afficianados , Second half ! They'd nailed it , So glad I'd got to see it, Shame I had to tell the marshalls on the back row to stop talking , Credit to The Garrick ! I complained after the first set , Second set ! Different marshall,

18th Jun 22 :: Review: Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice - Him & Me
Okay but a bit disjointed. The company dancers are excellent and actually provide most of the show. No star numbers from the stars. Anton thinks he’s funny but is mostly slightly off if not a fan already. Maybe better for the super strictly fan.

17th Jun 22 :: Review: Diversifications
Such an incredibly beautiful show, the cast moved me to tears throughout but had me chuckling with my next breath, clever, thought provoking and so human. I found this show to be life affirming and loved engaging in the debate it brings out in audiences after the show. If in the same position, would you make different choices? Are you living the life you most desire?
