Last night I was back at the Churchill for my first play of the year. Not knowing what to expect, you could say I was coming in cold… The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, based on John le Carré’s novel, follows Alec Leamas, a British intelligence officer who, after watching his agents fall […]
Its hard to believe that we are 3 months into the year, and I have just got to the theatre – when I was hoping to get out an about more this year due to some kind Christmas theatre vouchers. Alas, I was super excited to be invited to the press night of tonight’s musical, […]
Tonight, it was time for round 2 of Panto press night! Heading back to the Orchard West for this years production of Aladdin! Christmas jumper wearing, I was very much looking forward to Imagine Theatre’s rendition having enjoyed last years Sleeping Beauty. I was not disappointed! This pantomime was exactly how I remember pantomimes should […]
December is finally among us and for many local theatres this means Panto season is upon us, for what is Christmas in Britain without pantomime? Pretty boring if you ask me! Oh yes it is! First this year for me was The Churchill in Bromley! This year’s panto was Beauty and the Beast — a […]
I was looking forward to heading back to the Churchill Theatre, for tonight’s opening of Murder at Midnight, a Comedy Thriller. Now, I love a whodunnit but add a bit of comedy in there – I was intrigued as to what was in store! It’s New Year’s Eve in a secluded Kent farmhouse where a […]
“Jesus Christ Superstar” has enjoyed a number of high-profile revivals in recent years and continues to be a popular choice for amateur dramatic societies. Its powerful music, timeless themes, and flexible staging make it a perennial hit with both audiences and performers alike. Tonight it was Dartford Operatic Dramatic Society’s time to bring this rock […]
It was back to the Churchill Theatre, Bromley to catch this weeks production. The play, Inspector Morse – House of Ghosts. Having not really caught the tv series, I did not know what was in store – but I do love a classic whodunnit and trying to figure it out before the end. Sadly, this […]
There is a part of me that felt like I had absolutely no business being at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley this evening to watch Fawlty Towers: The Play. And looking around at the average age of the audience mostly confirmed that thought. The first series came out in 1975, 25 years before I was […]
I was so excited to be back at the Churchill, I didn’t realise how long it had been since I was in an audience and I couldn’t wait to be seated in the auditorium for tonight’s opening performance and press night Calamity Jane! In the heart of the Wild West, Calamity Jane follows the story […]
As much as I adore Cirque du Soleil, it is getting harder to justify what are now pretty eye-watering ticket costs, particularly on an annual basis. Not that the performances aren’t worth it; it’s just an expensive habit to form. Still, our usual circus group headed back to the Royal Albert Hall to see this […]
