BWW Review: KISS ME, KATE, The Watermill Theatre
The vivacity of this production of Kiss Me, Kate hits you even harder than the gifts of the multi-talented cast.

Never before has there been a show filled with such exuberance, or has there been a play that fires the audience up in such a way.
BWW Review: STONES IN HIS POCKETS, Theatre Royal Brighton
There's always a buzz of excitement when a film crew come to your home town but is it always a positive impact on the community? Marie Jones' multi-award winning comedy, Stones in His Pockets, is currently touring the UK and is making its stop in Brighton's Theatre Royal this week.

Violetta kicks off the Grimeborn Festival with a perfect example of how to pare back a grand opera and make a fine chamber piece that is played and sung beautifully.

From having a mundane job to stay on top of bills to having to deal with agents who show no respect whatsoever, starting a career in the entertainment industry isn't for the easily impressionable.

BWW Review: MALORY TOWERS, Passenger Shed
At first glance, Enid Blyton's Malory Towers seems an odd choice for the second outing of Emma Rice's Wise Children theatre company.
BWW Review: SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE INVISIBLE THING, Rudolf Steiner Theatre
It's only natural that, after its original 2016 run in Chiswick, a revised version of Greg Freeman's Sherlock Holmes and the Invisible Thing should land at the Rudolf Steiner Theatre, just down the road from 221B Baker Street itself.
