The Daily Beast were kind enough to call me "a man with an encyclopedic knowledge of the city’s underground culture" and I have been editing/reviewing stage productions since 2010 for some of London's biggest websites covering theatre, opera, dance, cabaret, immersive and everything in between.
Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin may be famous for introducing the tune of “Here Comes The Bride” to the world but there’s much more here in this stirring tale. David Alden’s bold production debuted in 2018 to critical fanfare and now returns to the Royal Opera House with some excellent leads and immersive flourishes.
The Tiger Lillies return to the Soho Theatre with a vicious and viscous re-imagining of the classic Brecht and Weill opera, thick with murderers, thieves and all manner of villainy.
Poul Ruder's 1998 operatic take on The Handmaid's Tale takes flight once again at the English National Opera featuring a new production and the West End debut of Camille Cottin (Killing Eve, Call My Agent).
String v SPITTA might sound like a court case but is, instead, something far more serious: a battle between two children’s entertainers for supremacy of the London scene.
Eyre’s take on La Traviata quite rightly deserves to be seen as a jewel in ROH’s crown but Angel Blue lifts it to a new level. Read our critic's review.
Director Nadia Latif returns this month with the hotly anticipated Marys Seacole written by Jackie Sibblies Drury.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby explores decadence, duplicity and desperation, and where better to do that nowadays than in a central London bar?
There are few operas which, at once, gives some insight into the history of the current UK opera scene, the sexual politics of the 1940s and the darkness within Benjamin Britten’s mind. Peter Grimes does all that and also provides a visceral and heart-rending story, deep in meaning, high in emotion.
Phelim McDermott is among the very top tier of opera directors and, with this welcome revival of his 2014 interpretation of Così fan tutte, it is easy to see why.
This rare revival of Dance is the epitome of Philip Glass' artistic ethos, combining minimalism and layered music with huge projections and skilful dancing.
For those searching for some mid-winter glam to lift the gloom, look no further than @TheRSC’s latest take on Much Ado About Nothing.
Kate Bush was just 19 when she had her first hit in 1977 and went on to produce a catalogue of songs which are still admired today. In her show, superfan Sarah-Louise Young pays tribute not only to the iconic music but also to the star and her loyal supporters.
