I’ve been in love with theatre for as long as I can remember but it was intensified when I joined Bedlam Theatre whilst at University of Edinburgh - the oldest student-run theatre in the UK. With an aversion to the spotlight I became involved in stage management and producing and then discovered reviewing. I’ve been reviewing for over six years now but am still delighted to be challenged and thrilled by shows at every viewing. When not working as a marketeer in my day job, I’m at home with my two demanding Siamese cats - more often than not knitting or with a glass of wine in hand.

After sold-out runs at the National Theatre and Sheffield Theatres, the production has now transferred to the West End.

REVIEW: The Circle

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Circle, brought about by Theatre Royal Bath Productions, this short play revolves around the family of Arnold Champion-Cheney, a high-strung politician with a no-nonsense attitude brought about by his traumatic family past; he was abandoned by his dear mother, Lady Kitty, at the mere age of five years old, in the name of “love” for his father’s very best friend Porteus.
