⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Simply Sensational”

The Palladium was buzzing last night with a full-on party atmosphere, as Nathan and his band delivered a sensational night of entertainment.

Head to the website to read my full five-star review. Link in bio.

Nathan Carter was absolutely SENSATIONAL tonight at the London Palladium.

I discovered Nathan and his music about 8 years ago and it was amazing to finally get to see him perform live. The atmosphere was electric tonight.

⭐️ INFORMAL ⭐️

I recently sat down with Helen Percival, Tori Sasso-Briggs, Matthias Moret, and Harun Ćehović from Noctis Theatre Company, ahead of their show THE LAST TIME I SAW CAILEIGH crossing the pond for a US tour which opens tonight.

Head to the website via the link in the bio to read.

Still thinking about this incredible play, and I can’t wait to see it again at the weekend. It’s always good to return to a show you’ve loved without your reviewers hat on.

SAVAGE continues performances at Kennington’s White Bear Theatre until Sunday 15th March.

Tonight I was at Hoxton Hall for the Press Night of SUPPLIANTS OF SYRIA, a multimedia play about asylum and democracy.

Lots of thoughts on this one. Look out for my review coming tomorrow.
