  • Jack Absolute Flies Again – The National Theatre

    ★★★★☆ A new comedy that isn’t completely new would be one way to describe this play. Written by Richard Bean and Oliver Chris it is based on Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s 1775 play The Rivals. Updated to the 20th century it is now set on an RAF base in World War II and has many of the…

  • The Cher Show – MK Theatre (UK Tour)

    ★★★★★ So I was a bit late to the game with this one as I actually saw the penultimate performance on 9th July. I wanted to go earlier, but work commitments and a show I was in meant that this was the earliest I could go. I hadn’t been back to the Arts Theatre since Six was…
