I spend most of my time in theatres and cinemas. Then writing teeny reviews in notebooks on the way home. These are those reviews. Click the images to enlarge.

Our Boys (30/10/2012)
Our Boys is a bit of an enigma. The play itself passes off as a sort of hospital-cum-army drama, a cross between the boring bits of casualty and the marvellous bits of... Well.
Suddenly you hit a bit of a brick wall with trying to describe something like this. It's understated, laddish, and a little bit brutal... But its also genuine, sad, heartwarming and upsetting. Our Boys has a balance which few other plays (at least this year) seem to have found.
