Came away from Theatre Royal Drury Lane incredibly impressed by #SomethingRotten. Not just by the piece itself (which Iām ashamed to say was new to me), but also by the performers and production values. One of the best staged āconcertsā Iāve seen by a margin! š³


They donāt make āem like this anymore, do they? Director Jordan Fein and Designer @tomscuttdesign have created a world in which this classic material truly comes alive. #FiddlerOnTheRoof Open Air Theatre š¾


Had all but given up hope of seeing #TheYears Almeida Theatre. But by some miracle got to see it this afternoon. And it is in itself some kind of miracle. One of the best shows Iāve seen this year ā feels like essential viewing.


Opening this one tonight. Feel very lucky to work on such an iconic piece with such a lovely group of humans. #OVTheRealThing The Old Vic š»


Had a stunning time Royal Ballet and Opera tonight for #MadHatter. Such a delight to see the electric work of ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company again after having them The Old Vic for #OVSylvia last year.


Was reminded tonight of the genius of Kazuo Ishiguro. His seminal novel #NeverLetMeGo is brought brilliantly to life Rose Theatre in this quietly powerful adaptation by Suzanne Heathcote and Christopher Haydon. The three leads particularly impressive.



Eyebrows now raised in a state of permanent amazement after watching Tituss Burgess (Tituss Burgess) and MOYA sing their faces off Phoenix Arts Club tonight. Just mindblowing š¤Æ



.Lindsey Ferrentinoās THE FEAR OF 13 will surely be a major contender come awards season. Itās slickly directed, designed and performed by a terrific ensemble cast led by Adrien Brody and #NanaMensah. Get a ticket if you can!


My grandma performed in amateur productions of SeĆ”n OāCaseyās work when she first moved over from Ireland in the 50s. His plays offered a sense of community at a time when anti-Irish sentiment was rife in the UK. So it meant a lot to watch Juno and the Paycock tonight.


Another joyous night Shakespeareās Globe. This time with direction courtesy of my brilliant friend @RobinBelfield and company courtesy of my very own #PrincessEssex, Holly Matthams. Lovely to see @lizziehopley and Eloise Secker up there too, providing big laughs alongside Anne Odeke.


As we approach the final stretch, Iām reflecting back on a wonderful few months with the lovely company of #TheOVRealThing The Old Vic ā perfectly encapsulated by the happy evening we spent hosting the legend himself, Sir Tom Stoppard. More of this, please!


Even though the spoilers are 2,500 years old at this point, Robert Icke has worked his usual magic with Oedipus West End and created a piece where your heart rarely leaves your mouth. You canāt help feeling this has been an exceptional year for drama in London theatre.


Well, wasnāt that just lovely? Think I was one of the few people National Theatre tonight who wasnāt already familiar with #BalletShoes, but that didnāt mean I was any less taken in by its charms and slick direction. Highly recommend!
