★★★★★  I think the long-term success of the play, and the quality still shining through in this performance, is that The Woman in Black does a lot more than being scary. It’s tremendously funny, especially in the first half as we are gently lead into the story proper from the rehearsals of Kipp and the actor.

★★★☆☆ In Wilde’s play a young man’s career ambitions are jeopardised when his mother meets his prestigious and titled new employer at an affluent dinner party, and the concealed implications of their past are brought to the fore. The audience is served the playwright’s infamous humour with a side helping of social critique.

★★★★☆ The tone and calibre are everything you have come to expect from Joseph at this point: family-friendly, bubbly, bright, cheesy and still able to get a song stuck in your head for days.

★★★☆☆ American Idiot is the stage musical of Green Day’s famous 2004 album about adolescent malaise and disillusionment. The ‘punk rock opera’ follows the Jesus of Suburbia through post-9/11 America.

★★★★★ Dead Dog is a story of hypocrisy, as the swaggering and corrupt upper echelons of society persecute the crimes of the commoners whilst going unpunished themselves. . . .The themes are highly relevant now with its searing contempt for a broken society and those exploiting their way to the top.
