Theatre tips

It's been a while since the last post but I have a good excuse as I've been busy attending lots of theatre events.  In July I was accepted onto the reviewing team at Everything Theatre http://www.everything-theatre.co.uk/ and have completed ten reviews to date.

I'm getting to visit theatres and performance spaces that I didn't know existed so it's been a great voyage of discovery.

Best tips to share with you so far:

This new theatre in Finsbury Park opened in March this year and has a main auditorium and a smaller studio style space.  It's an easy journey by Piccadilly and Victoria tubes or by BR lines so don't let the location put you off.

This one is located in Covent Garden and although not much to look at it seems to have an impressive track record.  I recently saw 'Warde Street' there and was blown away both by the writing and the performances.

So if you want something beyond the major West End shows - and with kinder ticket prices - then look to the fringe theatre around London.  More information about venues and shows can be found at http://www.everything-theatre.co.uk/

Gorgeous window box in the back streets of Covent Garden.  Theatres and flowers!!
