REVIEW: The Devils

Reading Time: 2 minutesBefore cancel culture, there was censorship, something that British heavyweight director Ken Russell came to know all too well following the original release of The Devils in 1971. The film, based on a non-fiction work by Aldous Huxley called The Devils of Loudun, was heavily criticised for its supposed blasphemy, poor-taste sexual depravity and general ‘evil’ intentions.

REVIEW: Annie

Reading Time: 3 minutesThere is little as impressive as watching young children fill a 3000-person theatre with synchronised dancing, convincing acting and theatrical charm. As soon as you walk into Annie, the set, a colourful but dingy-looking orphanage bedroom complete with eight empty beds, sets the scene. When the children enter as the crowd chatter dims, they effortlessly settle into bed as the show begins. What follows is a two-hour production that feels like cinema on stage.

REVIEW: Burlesque the Musical 

Burlesque

Reading Time: 3 minutesBurlesque the Musical has arrived at the King’s Theatre, Glasgow, and it certainly has not done so  quietly. This is a huge, high-energy production filled with powerhouse vocals, breathtaking  choreography and genuinely spectacular technical elements. From the moment the show begins, it  throws everything it has at the audience and, for the most part, it really works.
