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?
I am sure you’ll have all heard of it – The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a heartwarming and charming story based on a group of British retirees ending up in an entirely unexpected hotel-come-retirement-home in India. I caught it this summer at the Belgrade while on its tour and here are my thoughts!

As a British kid, I bet you likely read Lord of the Flies in school. Of course, when I was younger, I didn’t really understand it – why were the kids so chaotic? Why would they do the things they did? After seeing the play, it got me so gripped that after innumerable years since I’ve read the novel… I FINALLY GOT IT.
There’s something incredibly British about pantomime that I adore. There’s nothing else quite like it anywhere in the world (to my knowledge). There’s also no better traditional panto than the one at the Belgrade. This year was Jack and the Beanstalk – a classic, of course.
Starting off the spookiest week of the year with a trip to see Demon Dentist at the Belgrade, with a special guest blogger, Sam, who came to see the play with me!
The costumes were amazing, the choreography was brilliant (THE POWER POSES!)… Just go and see SIX immediately! It’s sold out in my home-town (I know because I immediately tried to get tickets to go again) but everyone should see it on tour.
My partner and I have been getting Hello Fresh delivered for months now, and I know it’s hardly a new concept but I just wanted to share my full experience in case anyone was unsure whether to try it!
I love a modern retelling, deconstruction and adaptation of a classic play, and what better play to tackle than Shakespeare’s Othello?
This week I had the pleasure of going to see Cluedo on stage at the Belgrade Theatre. I never thought I’d be going to see a play based on a classic board game, but I’d be up for seeing more adaptations! But of course, what could be more iconic than the characters of Cluedo…

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet recently and only seem to be posting reviews lately – my cat went missing for a few weeks and I have not altogether been feeling myself! I am hoping to take lots more pics, and visit lots more places as we move into Spring! For now, here’s my review of Davinci Code at the Belgrade Theatre this week!
