A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Bridge Theatre review *****
A Midsummer Night’s Dream Bridge Theatre, 6th June 2019 Go join the Shakespeare party down at the Bridge. Nick Hytner pretty much always nails the Bard and he has done it again here. Ignore the lukewarm reviews from the critics who seem to have got a little bit antsy with…

Serious Money at LAMDA review review ****
Serious Money Sainsbury Theatre, London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, 4th June 2019 Last minute jaunt to Hammersmith to see one of LAMDA’s summer season offerings. If there are times when you start fulminating about paying close to a ton for a cramped perch in a dingy West End…

Our Town at the Open Air Theatre review ****
Our Town Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, 23rd May 2019 Now I’ll be honest, until I started taking this theatre malarkey seriously, I had only the faintest idea of what Thornton Wilder’s most famous play, Our Town, was about. And even going in to this production at the Open Air…

Vice film review *****
Vice, 30th April 2019 It’s been a shocking year so far in terms of getting to the cinema for the Tourist. No excuses. He has the time, the wherewithal and the desire but the theatre and concert addiction, (there have also been a few notable misses on the exhibition front),…

A German Life at the Bridge Theatre review ****
A German Life Bridge Theatre, 15th April 2019 It is pretty easy when you spend as much time consuming theatre as the Tourist to go full on luvvie and get well carried away with the “genius” of playwrights, directors, creatives and, especially, actors. So you would probably be wise to…
