In a new episode of the Transporting Awkward Items by Bus series, I found myself yesternight trundling along wrestling a Christmas tree.

Enchanted Evening
The London of my imagination is a nighttime city, a city of twinkling lights reflected in the Thames, of old-fashioned lampposts, of warm windows full of laughing people glowing into dim streets. Sometimes it’s even like that in real life. One night I walk home from seeing a show at the Globe and I feel … Continue reading
Powerful Contemporary Relevance: Blue Stockings at Shakespeare’s Globe
Repost: with One Stop Arts closing, I migrated this review here. In a time when young women are still shot in the head for pursuing the right to an education, the conflicts explored in Jessica Swale’s first play, Blue Stockings, could not be more urgent.

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

Invitations: Latin Late at the Horniman Museum
Latin Late at the Horniman Museum. I had to go just because of the name, right? The Horniman Museum is a fascinating little jewel tucked away in Forest Hill. 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
