Honor Blackman has had the most extraordinary career, from Jason and The Argonauts through The Avengers and Bond where she played the best ever of the bevy of Bond girls, a wide range of theatre including musicals and enough TV where she… Read more →
Even the brief hour of sunshine could not lift my spirits during this street performance. The location was irrelevant, the staging disappointing and I sensed that the audience was unengaged. Three strangely dressed actors wheeled around, two more atop piles of scrap,… Read more →
With just two actors, five puppets and a box of props, Box Tale Soup has cleverly reduced a Jane Austen novel to an hour-long play in this beautiful and imaginative production. The two actors played the leads expressively, while at the same… Read more →
