Pride month has been over for a little while now and the rainbow corporate logos go away for another year. But of course, queers are for life, not just for June. So we’re out here celebrating again, chatting to Rob Madge, the mastermind behind My Son’s a Queer; (but what can you do?) at the Belgrade.
What a beautiful start to the May Bank Holiday! It’s one of my favourite holidays – Beltane is here, the summer heat is coming but not too stifling yet… so there’s never a more perfect time to think about death!
I am endlessly forgetful. If it’s not written down, or an emo song lyric from the early 2000’s, I just won’t remember it. Needless to say, I was so impressed with the incredible display from just two men on stage as they told the tale of The Woman in Black.

I spent last Saturday with my gorgeous friend and some new, incredible women doing an empowerment workshop, followed by a bite to eat and a fierce feminist play.

How ARE you? It’s been a minute! Since coming out of the other side of my winter depression, I’ve moved my girlfriend into my house (yay) and have also had a bout of illness (boo). But I’m back! It’s Spring! We’re doing this! Let’s kick off the season right with a wonderful interview, shall we?
What a vibrant and incredible musical! It was all so uplifting and really brightened a grey February evening. It also couldn’t have come at a better time for me – I could always do with a pre-Spring boost. If you could too, here’s why you should see it!
After being invited to see Shrek the Musical, I approached the evening with high hopes of reliving the magic of the DreamWorks film. What would the play include or remove? What would it add? How would it feel to see when the classic is so well-loved? These are some ogre-sized boots for it to fill!

It’s not often that I am left speechless after seeing a play. Not a lot can move me nowadays but after seeing Metamorphosis it left me in a deep and thoughtful mood. So much so that it’s taken me just over a day to truly reflect on its impact on me!
I don’t know about you, but I am definitely feeling the effects of winter! It’s a struggle to get out of bed sometimes isn’t it? Well, if you only have ONE outing this winter, make it the Belgrade Theatre pantomime. This year, they’re putting on Cinderella – and as always, it’s the best!
Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a tale that has been captivating audiences for over a century. I’ve seen so many adaptations and offshoots of the classic vampire tale that of course, when Dracula: Mina’s Reckoning came to the stage at the Belgrade, I had to go and see it!
