Review: THE WOMAN IN BLACK at His Majesty's Theatre
by David Bravos - June 02, 2024

The plot is good and the acting is superb, and combined with this thriller is put together make this a must see.

Review: GASLIGHT at Regal Theatre
by David Bravos - June 02, 2024
The term gaslight is likely more well known than its etymology in the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play.

The play is a classic, and the modern adaptation maintains the elements whilst thrusting Bella into a more central role.
