Rosa Garland delivers an ambitious and unsettling performance, moving through surreal vignettes that blend comedy, discomfort and bold physicality. Her commitment is undeniable, but moments of emotional depth are often overshadowed by shock-driven choices, leaving the show feeling more like an intense, chaotic dream than a fully realised comedic experience.

A nostalgic deep dive into the Design Museum’s Blitz exhibition celebrating the club that defined the New Romantic movement. From Steve Strange and Rusty Egan to Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes and unforgettable cabaret performances, this immersive show captures the creativity, fashion and joyful escapism of London nightlife at its most influential.

A powerful, intimate revival of Savage at the historic White Bear, where Kerill Kelly and Matthew Hartley shine as lovers torn apart, and Claire‑Monique Martin delivers a quietly extraordinary performance as the nurse who risks everything to help.

Tender, funny and quietly unsettling, Blink at the King’s Head Theatre explores loneliness, voyeurism and the fragile ways we try to connect. This intimate two-hander delivers beautifully nuanced performances, balancing humour with heartbreak as two isolated lives intertwine in unexpected and deeply human ways. ★★★★☆

Aboard the Golden Hinde, Silver & Gold transforms theatre into a thrillingly intimate voyage. As Long John Silver recruits us — very firmly not pirates — James Hyland delivers a gripping retelling that blurs audience and crew. Atmospheric, playful and unexpectedly moving, it’s immersive storytelling at its most memorable.

Warm, funny and unexpectedly moving, Grindr Mom at Waterloo East Theatre is a standout solo performance from Jessica Martin. Blending mischievous humour with genuine emotional depth, this clever monologue explores faith, family and the search for connection, with hilarious Siri and Alexa moments sitting alongside a quietly heartbreaking journey of acceptance.

A warm, funny and unexpectedly moving 20th anniversary production, Glorious! celebrates the remarkable Florence Foster Jenkins — the socialite famously dubbed the worst singer in the world. Wendi Peters delivers a beautifully balanced performance filled with humour and vulnerability, while Matthew James Morrison provides a charming narrative anchor. With simple but effective staging and plenty of laughs, this uplifting true story leaves audiences with a genuine feel-good glow

Cooney’s name promises chaos — and Cash on Delivery delivers a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slamming doors and benefit-fuelled deception at The Mill at Sonning. Slickly performed and energetically staged, it’s a hearty slice of old-school farce — though it feels more 1970s than 1990s. Three and a half stars for an evening of comforting theatrical escapism.

Skye has a way of pulling you back with its wild weather, unfinished business, and scenery so beautiful it forgives everything. This February we returned to finally reach Rebel Wood, a quiet memorial grove for Joe Strummer. A gentle track, a triumphant river crossing, and views of snow‑tipped Cuillin made the walk feel magically Skye—peaceful, simple, and worth every step.

A cosy winter lunch at The Three Chimneys at Talisker, with snowy Cuillin views, generous plates, and perfectly pitched service. Highlights included tangy prawn toast, subtly spiced salmon with real depth, tender flat iron steak, rich confit duck, and a nostalgic marmalade steamed pudding. A must‑visit on Skye.
