Tessa Coates: Get Your Tessa Coates You’ve Pulled 4****
August 10, 2022 | one4reviewThis show starts at a solid ‘good’ and improves immediately from there to achieve ‘excellent’ about half way through. Material and presentation aside, this is almost entirely due to Ms Coates’ skill in grabbing the audience by the emotions and … Read More

Carnival of the Animals by Circa – 4****
August 9, 2022 | one4reviewWe open Circa’s Carnival of Animals with a somewhat ringmaster banging a large stick, seemingly bringing on the animals at the circus. Zebras, elephants, penguins, monkeys, cats? This show has so many animal references you start to lose count, … Read More
Yellow Bird Chase – 5*****
August 9, 2022 | one4reviewIf I could give this show 6 stars I would. We are instantly engaged by our trio of ‘Maintenance workers’ Capcap – the serious, almost Napoleonesque leader (with medals and the hat to match), Toodles, the loveable dotty daydreamer … Read More
