WillFredd Theatre‘s FOLLOW is a largely victorious one-man performance which explores the ‘dramatic possibilities of sign language.’ By interweaving several separate narratives, all involving deaf/hearing impaired characters, it undeniably manages to portray the unique and subjective experience of each […]

I’m not sure how long I’ve seen this play circling the city, as is often the case with one man/ woman shows, when they’re good they just run and run! This is […]
Even a workhorse takes the odd day off, so this is a day late this week! Ok, maybe I just forgot yesterday was Monday. So what’s new with the new year? Actually, […]

Right, so I’m ignoring every Christmas market, in case you’re wondering! They’re out there and hard to miss, so go enjoy if that’s your scene. Otherwise, The Dead starts (officially) at the […]
Yes, we’ve fully embraced the Christmas vibe here, with Chris Rea driving home for Christmas, wall to wall on all radios. I haven’t heard the Pogues yet, but it’s only a matter […]
