Festive Theatre Review: The Pixie and the Pudding, Sheffield Crucible Studio
It’s such a pleasure to watch highly skilled performers at work, whether it’s Ian McDiarmid in his one-man show The Lemon Table or Ashleigh Cheadle and Sam Dutton in this adaptation of a Scandinavian folktale at the Sheffield Crucible Studio.
Review: Twinkle and the Mechanical Light Machine, Oldham Theatre Workshop, Oldham Central Library
Imagine a town where the Christmas lights really matter.

“We can’t all be from rich families and go to RADA.” Samantha Womack talks to Northern Soul

Theatre Review: Beauty and the Beast, New Vic, Stoke-on-Trent
Eat your heart out Walt, director Theresa Heskins has made it real. Clever, funny, hilarious even, but never sentimental, the New Vic’s take on Beauty and the Beast is a joy from start to finish.
Review: The Lemon Table, HOME, Manchester
Ian McDiarmid is magnificent in the two pieces which make up The Lemon Table, taken from Julian Barnes’s 2004 collection of short stories of the same name.
Theatre Review: Aladdin, Oldham Coliseum
As a veteran of some 30 pantos I never thought I’d say this, but how lovely it is to be back in panto land.

Road was Farnworth-born, Jim Cartwright’s first play.
