Brasserie Zedel ran a promotion this year on Bastille Day offering a free dinner to anyone who showed up in a striped blue-and-white Breton shirt and a beret. My neighbours Paul (of Pootling Around fame) and Hannah and I decided that we couldn’t possibly miss this opportunity to express our Francophile tendencies (not to mention … Continue reading

Review for Everything Theatre: Merely As You Like It at the Cockpit Theatre
I reviewed the Merely Shakespeare Company’s As You Like It at the Cockpit Theatre for Everything Theatre last week: The Cockpit’s ambitious summer venture involves a company of 20 actors performing a different Shakespeare play each month for one night only, with As You Like It being the penultimate in the series. The Merely Shakespeare Company … Continue reading

He is, by all … Continue reading

The current production of Tea With Mamgu at the London Welsh Centre is a good example, as, at least in my viewing, it elicited a wide range of responses. Two … Continue reading

Tree Thieves of Wapping
Gentle readers, I have some grave news. Our beloved former Christmas tree, Twiglet Piny Tim McNeedles, has been tree-napped.

We packed him up and deposited him … Continue reading
