I remember when I first caught The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night-Time on West End. Having heard so much praise heaped on about it (and having read Mark Haddon’s original novel), I just had to see the biggest theatrical phenomenon yet. And sure enough, I wasn’t disappointed when I finally got the chance to a little over a year ago. So it really … Continue reading Preview: The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night Time by The National Theatre (presented by SRT)

Review: The Black Eye Club by Phil Charles

“He’s one of the girls!” shouts Zoe (Rebecca Pryle) innocuously – except in this world of misconceptions and boundaries, he (Christopher Sherwood) legally isn’t. Himself a victim of domestic abuse, Dave turns up late at night at a refuge only to be told by its night concierge (Cathryn Sherman) that the rooms are strictly women-only. Dave is a gay man, and thus terribly fascinating to Zoe who … Continue reading Review: The Black Eye Club by Phil Charles
