BWW Review: MAMMY GOOSE, Tron Theatre, Glasgow

Mammy Goose always thought she was going to be somebody, though life hasn't quite worked out like that. Her dreams of glittering Holyrood parties hob-knobbing with the Scottish elite like The Krankies and Sean Batty have gone down the pan. The frying pan. Her life is less Debbie McGhee more McGhee's the Bakers. She's working her fingers to the bone in that wee cafe of hers with her only friend in the world is Lucy - a talking Goose (and you can imagine the stares in street walking arm-in-arm with a 6ft goose).

BWW Review: THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES at Classical Theatre Company- Provides Many Happy Returns

I was fortunate enough to see Houston's Classical Theatre Company present THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, written by Arthur Conan Doyle (Writer of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes novel series). This production of THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, directed by Melissa Flower, was a wonderful curveball that left me excited for more Sherlock. The presentation and physicality of Act One will have any Sherlockian intellect wondering if what they saw was classic Sherlock Holmes (spoiler alert: it is).

Classical Theatre Company Presents THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES By Arthur Conan Doyle

Classical Theatre Company returns to the great Arthur Conan Doyle for the first time since the 2014-15 season's smash hit, The Speckled Band: An Adventure of Sherlock Holmes. Engaged to reprise their roles as the detective and Dr. Watson are CTC Executive Artistic Director John Johnston and CTC company artist Andrew Love. "I've been in many plays over my career, but I've never had the chance to play the same character in different plays," says Love. "I'm really looking forward to this challenge."

BWW Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE* *SORT OF, Tron Theatre, Glasgow

Join Tron Theatre Company and Blood of the Young for a unique and colourful take on the definitive rom-com, Pride & Prejudice. Five vaguely familiar young women have a story to tell. You'll have seen them, emptying the chamber pots and sweeping ash from the grate, the overlooked and the undervalued making sure that everyone above stairs finds their happy ending. Because when you can't be the romantic lead in your own story, you have to play a supporting role in someone else's.

With unseen 'little mouths' and the belching fumes of the local refinery as a backdrop, we find ourselves in the beguiling world of Ma and Pa who spend their time exchanging extraordinary and fantastic stories…until suddenly there is a knock at the door…

Classical Theatre Company Presents THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR By Nikolai Gogol

Classical Theatre Company returns to Russia for the first time since producing Chekhov's The Bear & The Proposal in 2016, this time via Russian literary master, Nikolai Gogol. Gogol's overt criticism of the rampant corruption he saw permeating the government in 1836 takes the form of his scathing satirical comedy, The Government Inspector. Often overshadowed by Chekhov, Nikolai Gogol penned The Government Inspector, and it is considered by some to be one of the finest plays from the Russian canon.
