A Chorus Line 3***

I came with trepidation at seeing a 60min version of ACL but thankfully we got a much fuller 90mins of the show and this turned out to be a pretty good production of this famous show. The venue is really … Read More

Stay Awake – 2**

Kudos to Luke Speirs for having the guts and determination to bring his own work to the Fringe and I hope this is the beginning of a journey of discovery and maturity which will see new work over the years. … Read More
