REVIEW: Still Life at the Grand Saloon Bar (Theatre Royal Drury Lane) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A glorious setting for some classic Noël Coward" #StillLife #BriefEncounter #NoëlCoward #AfternoonTea #LDNTheatreBloggers #TheatreBloggers pleasemindtheblog.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/s...

Still Life

Before Brief Encounter there was Still Life, Noël Coward’s short play which originally formed part of the play cycle Tonight at 8.30. Across a handful of scenes, it depicts the relationship w…

Finally made it to the Adelphi to see The Comedy About Spies! Just what I needed. If you want the Airplane! x The Play That Goes Wrong take on James Bond, then look no further. #SpiesComedy

Fourteenth Prom of 2026! #BBCProms

Neat little diversion yesterday afternoon, as the Grand Saloon Bar at Theatre Royal Drury Lane is playing host to an immersive production of Noël Coward's 'Still Life' just for this week. #StillLife #BriefEncounter

First trip to @stratfordeast.com for yonks! Second preview of Ava Pickett's BLOODSPORT: After Helen of Troy. #Bloodsport #MichelleDockery #LauraAikman

Thirteenth Prom of 2026! #BBCProms

'The Dog Stars' or 'Chekhov's Hand Grenades' ⭐️⭐️⭐️ At just about 2 hours long, it is definitely too long - and only really gets interesting by the third act. Build-up and atmosphere is all well & good, but it needs to kick into gear a little quicker. #TheDogStarsMovie

Twelfth Prom of 2026! #BBCProms

Last week @cindymarcolina.bsky.social and I were part of the first group to experience Peaky Blinders Underworld, in the Arches at London Bridge. It took us a little while to work out what we were doing, but we had fun giving it a go! #PeakyBlindersUnderworld

REVIEW: Tchaikovsky: Child of Glass at Opera Holland Park ⭐️⭐️ "A disappointing ode to one of the greats of classical music" #Tchaikovsky #ChildOfGlass #OperaHollandPark #TheatreBloggers pleasemindtheblog.wordpress.com/2026/08/14/t...

First time at @operahollandpark.bsky.social tonight! There to review a play, confusingly; my 'Tchaikovsky: Child of Glass' write-up will be available soon. #Tchaikovsky #ChildOfGlass

'Tony' or "Bildungsroman" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ No one says "Fuck off!" like Dominic Sessa. An entertaining coming-of-age plot; you're never quite sure when he's going to stop lying - or realise that, in fact, mother actually does know best. #TonyMovie

'The End of Oak Street' or "Is that a fucking dinosaur?!" ⭐️⭐️½ Zero marks for emotional investment, full marks for the unintentional comedy (which includes two dinosaurs going at it). Whole cinema roaring with laughter when presumably we should be weeping. #EndOfOakStreet

REVIEW: Love's Labour's Lost / Much Ado About Nothing (@guildfordbard.bsky.social) at @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social on the Hill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A superlative adaptation of two perfectly paired plays" #LovesLaboursLost #MuchAdoAboutNothing #Shakespeare pleasemindtheblog.wordpress.com/2026/08/10/l...

Love’s Labour’s Lost / Much Ado About Nothing (2026)
