Review: SONGS FROM THE SHOWS WITH CLARE TEAL AND THE BBC SINGERS, Milton Court Concert Hall
by Cindy Marcolina - December 02, 2023
It’s finally December, and there’s nothing British theatre does better than one-off festive entertainment. London has started swarming with mince pies, Christmas shows, pantos, and jolly gigs. In preparation for a pre-recorded stint on the radio later in December, recording artist and broadcaster Clare Teal joined the BBC Singers for a lovely night of show tunes and cheer. From Cole Porter to Stephen Sondheim, from Richard Rodgers to Irving Berlin, it was a bona fide walk through the who’s who of musical theatre with an added dash of Christmas nostalgia — a delightful production in all aspects and the perfect kick-off to the Advent.

Review: WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE, Stephen Lawrence Gallery
by Franco Milazzo - December 01, 2023
The VR-enabled Within Touching Distance is a profound work which digs deep into the psychology behind the most underrated sense. A word of warning: this show isn’t for the self-centred or the hard of feeling; those with the emotional awareness of an Ikea wardrobe will find little of value here.
