Return to the Horniman
Following my successful book signing at Hayaam Belly Dance Showcase in London, I took the day off work. Wrist fatigue from all that signing, you know. I decided to spend the day at the Horniman Museum. Last time I was at the Horniman I didn’t actually get to look around all that much because we … Continue reading
A Beautiful Dream: Go to Sleep, Goddamnit! at Camden People’s Theatre
Repost: with One Stop Arts closing, I migrated this review here. The Krumple’s inaugural offering in London is sweet, touching and very funny. Here’s hoping it won’t be the last. Go to Sleep, Goddamnit! is their first show and it roars onto the stage without speaking a single word. At the Camden People’s Theatre. Founded by … Continue reading

I’d often thought about going but not as yet made the effort. Fortunately a friend spotted the Latin Late for Friday night, an event which promised … Continue reading
Top of the Class: The Other School at St. James Theatre
Repost: with One Stop Arts closing, I migrated this review here. Thoughtful, boisterous and poignant, The Other School is an enjoyable collaboration between National Youth Music Theatre, Dougal Irvine and Dominic Marsh at the St. James Theatre. I expected The Other School to be a zany horror-comedy-musical about two students, Polly and Kester Parish, getting caught … Continue reading

London for Adventurers
London is a city rife with attractions for the intrepid adventurer. On Sunday, for instance, I got to ride on a funicular railway. You might say there is no place in London with a funicular railway. Well, gentle reader, you would be wrong, for there is one beside the Millenium Bridge on the St Paul’s … Continue reading
Sizzling: Bryan Batt’s Batt on a Hot Tin Roof at Crazy Coqs
Repost: with One Stop Arts closing, I migrated this review here. Have you ever wanted to be propelled back to an era of long white gloves and cigarette holders? Coiffed hairdos, dinner jackets, highballs poured from silver cocktail shakers? Plush banquettes with little round tables that have candles on them? Then, my friend, the Crazy Coqs is for … Continue reading
