Loserville (15/12/2012)

Oh my word I enjoyed this more than words can say.

I think the best way to put this into words would be a massive keysmash with excited bouncing in my chair. But that's not appropriate for a blog like this.

... What am I saying? Every review for something I love is essentially just a verbal keysmash.

Still...

Loserville is most definitely Grease for the modern era. Set in the 1970s, it tells the tale of Michael Dork, attempting to send the first Electronic communication. The battle for email supremacy is fought between him and his arch nemesis... Eddie Arch, son of the owner of Arch Systems. Throw in the Clever Girl, Holly, the Nerdy Writer, Lucas Lloyd (writing Galaxy Battle, and getting inspiration from the greatest of places) and so many more brilliant characters.

A fantastic piece which really surprised me in every sense of the word.

Goodnight Mister Tom (27/11/2012)

Goodnight Mister Tom is, was and always will be an emotionally traumatic, beautiful and heartwarming story, no matter what medium it's told in. Stories of young children being evacuated during the second world war are plentiful and touching, and seeing a story I had grown up with transferred to stage, was nothing short of lovely.

The Trojan Women (12/11/2012)

Well this was certainly not what I had expected.

55 Days (1/11/12)

One thing I'm always bemused about is staging a play so that the audience are seated either side of the action. Personally I find it distracting (in a lull I spotted a sleeping man and a Vic Reeves Lookalike) and a little bit annoying, as the audience are either treated to the back of the actors' heads or the actors in question shouting their lines so as to be heard by everyone.
