REVIEW: I Ran With The Gang
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ll be the first to admit - I’m not a Bay City Rollers superfan. Outside of ‘Bye Bye Baby’, my knowledge of them is quite limited. Which put me in the minority as an audience member of ‘I Ran with the Gang’, a tribute to Alan Longmuir, currently playing at the Stage Door Theatre. A large part of the show experience is the audience; they love the music, and they aren’t afraid to show it - with accompanying tartan scarves.
REVIEW: Confessions Of An Usher
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen you think of a job involving dealing with blood, sweat, tears, or vomit, ushering at a theatre doesn’t usually spring to mind. But as anyone who has worked Front of House can attest, the drama doesn’t always happen onstage.
REVIEW: Hasbian
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere is no time like Pride Month to see queer theatre - and Beth Watson’s confessional Hasbian is my top pick during June - and every month.
REVIEW: Shakespeare in the Squares: All’s Well That Ends Well
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe arrival of summer can mean only one thing – the open-air performances have begun. One such option available to audiences seeking a sunny(ish) setting is Shakespeare in the Squares’ charming production of All’s Well That Ends Well.
REVIEW: Dinner with Gatsby
Reading Time: 2 minutesWork in Progress Theatre & GKT Musical Theatre Society’s own take, ‘Dinner with Gatsby’, reimagines the events of the novel over the course of an evening at Jay Gatsby’s mansion.
REVIEW: Fat Chance
Reading Time: 2 minutesNorthern, female, fat. Rachel Stockdale’s recounting of a life as a person who is all three of these things, while also trying to make it in the theatre industry is a poignant, punchy piece with a beautiful message.
REVIEW: Mine (or Unapologetically Autistic)
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhilst we, as a society, have made great strides in the understanding of the neurodivergent experience, there is certainly a lot more to learn. Daniel Toney’s one-man show about growing up – and indeed, living as – an autistic man promises to be a ‘blunt conversation about being autistic’. As the audience files in, Toney is already in the space, sitting alone at a table for two.
REVIEW: Pansexual Pregnant Piracy
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhat happens when a queer theatre group gets their hands on the story of an insurgent lady pirate whose story is lost to 18th century history? The answer: an hour of non-stop, high-energy comedy, embellished with original songs, flashy choreography, and enough genderbending to make your head spin.
REVIEW: Mary’s Daughters
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhat did the great women of the past pass on to their daughters, more than appearance? In Mary Wollstonecraft’s case, it is intelligence, rebelliousness, and a penchant for poetic (read: flighty) men.
