As I write there’s thunder and lightning outside my window so it seems strange to be thinking about Summer Theatre however I’m very intrigued by the main show that’s just been announced for the Southbank’s eccentric LONDON WONDERGROUND on the South Bank by the London eye. A fun space where you can drink and party alongside watching lively new cabaret based productions in elaborately tented venues.
