Another installment of the live-streamed In Camera at the Old Vic ran last week, and of course I booked tickets to watch along again. I love the Old Vic live streams, it’s not quite live theatre, but it’s so close to it, and in the current times it’s so nice to be able to support…
An Evening With An Immigrant
Last week I once again ventured to the socially distanced Bridge Theatre, this time to see the opening performance of An Evening With An Immigrant by Inua Ellams. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was drawn in by the title. As an immigrant myself, though a very privileged one, I’m always interested in the…
Sleepless – A Musical Romance
On Saturday it was finally time to see a musical in an indoor theatre! While I have recently seen a musical (in a pub garden) and an indoor play (at the Bridge Theatre), I just haven’t had a big musical live on stage in an indoor theatre experience in months! I was very excited to…
Rose
Coming up this week is a brand new production of Martin Sherman’s Rose at the Hope Mill Theatre. As the theatre is currently still closed, this is an online only run, and is limited to the 10th, 11th, and 12th of September. Tickets are only £8 and give access to the stream for 24hrs. Written…
Old Vid In Camera – Three Kings
On Friday it was finally time to experience the Old Vic’s second installment of their live streaming program, In Camera – Three Kings, with Andrew Scott. It had been postponed a few times due to health reasons and was now being streamed from the empty auditorium. This one-person play was specifically written by Stephen Beresford…
Beat The Devil
Last week I headed for my first post-lockdown live indoor threatre experience! I booked to see Beat The Devil at the Bridge Theatre, one of the series of monologues they are currently hosting in their socially distanced auditorium. It felt really weird and somewhat eerie to be back at the theatre, with an audience bedecked…
AIM – Operation Mindfall
After having played AIM‘s Deja Brew and Spy Heroes escape rooms, I was invited by Love Popups London to try their new augmented reality outdoor experience in central London. We got to play the Operation Mindfall, which is a two hours outdoor adventure starting at the Monument. The premise of this game is that we…
Fanny And Stella
2020 has been an interesting ride so far, but I am very excited to announce that live theatre is officially back! Well. A version of it, anyway… The Eagle Pub in Vauxhall has created a new, socially distanced outdoor theatre space, that is currently hosting a run of Fanny & Stella. Before we get into…
Picnic Hunters
As a big fan of Gingerline, I just had to try out their new outdoor, self guided, socially distanced adventure: Picnic Hunters. This adventure consists of an app-based scavenger hunt that guides participants through a London park to discover secrets and solve clues and, eventually, be rewarded with a wonderful picnic! Having loved all the…
Agent Venture
Last weekend, the Love Popups London gang attempted to work their way through both Agent Venture adventures. We started off with The Heist, which we had play-tested a little while ago. But as the game had been remodelled and extended, we got to try it again. It is now almost twice as long as it…
In Camera – Lungs
To kick of the Old Vic’s new live-streamed theatre series In Camera, Claire Foy and Matt Smith starred in a production of Duncan Macmillan’s Lungs. In Camera is a new creative idea to still provide live theatre while staying socially distanced. Instead of heading to the theatre, ticket holders can log in to Zoom and…
School Of Rock
Being in lockdown due to the corona virus pandemic, I thought I’d use the time to work on my backlog of shows I never got around to review back when I actually saw them. I just don’t always have the time to write reviews right away and sometimes they just fall into an eternal backlog…
