Review: Tom, Dick & Harry at the Alexandra Palace
By Miriam Gibson Monday, August 8 2022, 11:31
“Gentlemen, if we pull this off it will be the greatest escape mankind has ever made”. Low stakes, then, in this enjoyable play depicting of the escape from Stalag Luft III Prisoner of War camp.
Tom, Dick & Harry begins in 1943, with a motley crew of captured airmen imprisoned in Stalag Luft camp in Nazi Germany. British pilots Ballard and Wings are the stereotypical posh-boy pilots seen in many stories about the RAF. But Tom, Dick & Harry also shines a light on airmen from across Europe, as well as Australia and the Caribbean. The band of heroes is winning, if broadly-drawn.

Review: JACK ABSOLUTE FLIES AGAIN at the Olivier Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Friday, July 15 2022, 09:26
Jack Absolute Flies Again is a proper, old-fashioned farce. It’s silly, slapstick, and the jokes shoot at you as fast as if they’re being dropped from a Hurricane bomber.

Review: THE LION KING at the Lyceum Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Friday, July 1 2022, 16:03
Twenty-three years after it opened on the West End, The Lion King is still performing to packed audiences. You can barely move through the Lyceum Theatre’s foyer without bumping into at least three Year Six classes on their end-of-term trip to London.

Got friends or relatives visiting you in London? Perhaps you’re on holiday here yourself? I highly recommend Witness For The Prosecution for visitors to London.
