REVIEW: Whiplash

Reading Time: 2 minutesWhiplash is a comedic yet profoundly heartfelt moving show displaying the importance of sisterhood while slashing the unfair stereotypes people working in the Sex Entertainment face routinely. Throughout the play a new girl, Candy (Rosie Carson) tumbles in and starts working for the Gentleman’s Club. The girls who already work there are quick to help her learn the ways of being a stripper, especially Nemesis (Hannah Cauchi) who is a woman who used to work there but after having a horrific experience with a customer was thrown out, but has returned to her ‘home’. Furthermore, it also digs deep and has very dark themes woven in. The plot discusses the brutality these women face through the stigma and slander from the inside world.

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.
