Review: USHERS, The Other Palace
by Aliya Al-Hassan - April 18, 2024
Last seen in London nearly a decade ago, Ushers, the show putting the front of house staff upon the stage is back. A musical with its tongue set firmly in its cheek, this is a fun and frothy production with some very strong and vibrant performances.

Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, Watermill Theatre
by Mica Blackwell - April 17, 2024
Much Ado About Nothing is a quintessential Shakespeare farce: mistaken identities, intertwining romances, betrayals and deception all wrapped up with a neat little bow by the end.
