A charming, touching and over-whelming musical experience that manages to transcend stereo types and really get to the heart of its characters. We follow Charlie who has inherited a failing shoe factory from his late father. His only financial recourse is to find a new niche market to cater to. His life is then changed forever after an altercation with a drag queen called Lola.

Review: GROUNDHOG DAY at The Old Vic
By Stuart King Monday, September 19 2016, 14:12
Bill Murray’s creation of Phil Connors, an egotistical and contemptuous TV weatherman who finds himself trapped in a time-loop whilst conducting an outside broadcast in Punxsutawney, a Pennsylvania backwater, achieved instant cult status when the original film of “Groundhog Day” was released in 1993. The backwater and its unsophisticated inhabitants, whose singular notoriety stems from the antics of a ground-dwelling rodent, (which legend tells can predict the weather depending on whether it spies its own shadow on February 2nd), is the focus of short-lived annual interest, but viewed with undisguised derision by our anti-hero.

Kenneth Branagh ends his season of plays at The Garrick with John Osborne’s 1957 commentary on post-war Britain’s parlous and weakened state, highlighted by the military and diplomatic inadequacies revealed in the government’s handling of the 1956 Suez Crisis, presaging the collapse of the British Empire.

Review: BRIEFS at London Wonderground
By Stacey Tyler Friday, September 16 2016, 17:13
Back in London for its 4th season BRIEFS is a not for the faint hearted. In the words of our brilliantly bonkers host, this show ‘celebrates the freak’; and what a celebration it is.
As we enter The Spiegeltent in Wonderland at The Southbank, Ru Pauls ‘Sissy that walk’ is blasting through the speakers and we are transported into the wonderful world of cabaret. With the scantily clad waiters, dim lighting and revellers ready for a good time, everyone is waiting on tenterhooks for the show to begin. As the lights snap off, a single spot follows our host, Shivannah, work his way through the already adoring crowd.

Review: THE ALCHEMIST at RSC Barbican
By Stuart King Friday, September 16 2016, 16:10
A resourceful manservant is left in charge of his master’s London home during an outbreak of plague and during his absence, falls-in with a pair of confidence tricksters. The resultant bargain struck between the three, provides the basis for Ben Johnson’s seminal 1610 work The Alchemist which is currently being presented in the main house of the Barbican, by the RSC.
