Our scene takes place in a rural American homestead where, as a prelude to shooting herself, Jessie lists for her mother the humdrum minutiae of her existence — whilst preparing pill bottles, filling labelled sweet jars, detailing who to call when the dishwasher breaks down and most importantly, what procedure to follow after she hears the gun shot later that evening.

Review: SIX at the Vaudeville Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, November 9 2021, 20:29
Henry VIII's six wives grab their mics and deliver a high-octane Tudor take on girl power, as they regale us with stories of surviving the Royal Court and grabbing their place in history — albeit by association — through marriage to England's most notorious misogynist monarch.

Neil Gaiman's magical tale of a boy transported back to his 12 year old self has landed at the Duke of York's Theatre for a West End run following-on from its huge success at The National.

By Nicola Wright Monday, November 8 2021, 08:55
Not only has the Rotherhithe Playhouse proved a persuasive response to the crisis facing theatre in the covid era it's also creating some exceptional nights out.
This is the third show of theirs that I've caught in the last six months and the acting is as good as anything you'd currently pay a fortune to see in the West End, however it's this companies policy that you only pay what you can afford.
