Very much a first play that needed a few things ironed out, but by its close I found this to be deeply moving. Omari Douglas is displays a beautiful ode to queer history. Fundamentally, showed that the seeds that were sewn by the generation before are alive and vital now.

Very interesting observations. I’m still hoping for an Imelda win. Dolly deserves something.

Also worth noting, we don’t want highlights, we’d like to see the full thing aired. How is this still not happening?

Not to say Fiddler is a shoo-in, but I’d be surprised if there isn’t a sweep. I do hate a sweep. Make it interesting.

Feels quite bleak that there’s no performance from Hello, Dolly! but who can blame them when it feels like a night just to celebrate Fiddler?

Fiddler was obviously brilliant, but awards are so very tedious when there’s so many nominations for one show, no?

Of Mice and Men review – a tepid revival of Steinbeck’s dust bowl classic Sarah Brigham’s new production is beautifully designed but struggles to capture the drama’s claustrophobic tension

Never sure if this critic actually enjoys theatre tbh

I guess I’m the dissenting voice. For me, this was a talented cast let down by heavy-handed writing and direction that doesn’t allow them to dig deeper until it’s far too late in the play. Julie Hesmondhalgh & David Sheilds are masterful in its final moments. Lucky I stayed past the interval, though

Like any criticism of Natasha Hodgson in any way is null and void, tyvm

Some of these harsh Mincemeat reviews feel like bad faith, no?

Take a revelatory Blanche, a ferociously good Stella, a brilliant interpretation of Stanley, and add beautiful staging, haunting moments, and exquisite design, and you have a near-perfect Streetcar. Bravo!

Finally got to see The Years, which, of course, deserves all its success. A stirring set of performances propel what is already a genius adaptation. A faultless production with the most striking ending.

What an event Kenrex is, and what a privilege it is to see such dynamic staging, writing, acting, and musicianship.

It exploits all the theatricality of true crime podcasts/docs to its full potential.

Started off the year with a bit of a dud.

While Sheffield’s Little Shop of Horrors boasted a talented cast, the ideas in this production felt too over-thought and under-developed for me.

Thrilled this is getting more of a life; loved it at the Dorfman, and loved it on NT at Home.

Verrrry intrigued if any cast changes, as it was perfect at the Nash

Hi Bluesky, I haven’t posted on here yet but I do intend to.

Who is good to follow? and who has Michael Harrison’s number so I can petition a studio recording of Love, Look In My Window by Imelda Staunton?

Kind regards.
