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!
After being invited to a press night for LGBTQ+ play, I Ain’t Dumb, I took a little while to formulate a constructive review. Of course, I wanted to be kind as I don’t want to discourage up and coming talent from pursuing their goals and dreams, but I always wanted to give my honest opinion on what promised to be an interesting play but ultimately left me confused and expecting more…
After two years of lockdown I can safely say I am feeling braver all the time. That’s why when I was invited to the Belgrade Theatre this week to a comedy adaptation of this Arthur Conan Doyle classic, I fully enjoyed every moment…

One thing I’ve always loved at the Belgrade is their yearly panto, but I hadn’t been since I was at uni (ahem… A decade ago…) So when the Belgrade invited me to their press evening for the kick off show of the panto season I shouted IT’S BEHIND YOU, and while they were distracted, I snatched the tickets.
