Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (ACMS) 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4review

Helen Duff: When the Going Gets Duff 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4review

As the audience settle into their seats, we are treated to a number of screen shots of Gary’s hilarious tweets, via a large slide show. This is a good indication of the way the show will go and the pace … Read More
Skin – 201 Dance Company – 5*****
August 20, 2017 | one4review
The 201 Dance Company tell the story of a boy’s gender transition through their contemporary urban dance production. I would not expect urban hip-hop style dancing as a way of expressing such an emotional journey however, with Andrea Walkers outstanding … Read More
