Review: HEDDA, Starring Lily Allen, Theatre Royal Bath
by Cheryl Markosky - August 15, 2025
Anyone who thinks Lily Allen's simply an upstart pop star plonked onstage to pull in the punters and rake in the cash, well, you can think again. She's delightfully dangerous and destructive – so much so you can't take your eyes off her – in Matthew Dunster's new cheeky version of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler in Theatre Royal Bath's intimate Ustinov Studio.

Review: BBC PROMS: BOLÉRO AND THE RITE OF SPRING, Royal Albert Hall
by Kat Mokrynski - August 15, 2025
Ever since I was first introduced to Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” in a course I took in university on Western Theatrical Dance, I have been in love with the piece. Two years ago, The Rite of Spring was performed at the BBC Proms in Prom 63: The Rite By Heart, which told the story of how Stravinsky created the piece and had the Aurora Orchestra perform it entirely from memory. It makes sense that when the BBC Proms announced Boléro and The Rite of Spring this year that I would be instantly wanting to see it!
