Theatre reviews for you, by you. If you would like to review for us,

It’s not every day you get asked to make a guest appearance in the hit West End musical Spamalot, so when the company approached me to play the cameo role of ‘Sir Not Appearing’ I jumped at the chance – well, not literally, as the room I was in at the time was rather small [...]

Do you remember your first trip to the theatre? I do. It was to see a play called The Red Balloon when I was around 7 years old and, if I’m honest, said red balloon is about the only bit of the show I remember. Though the important point, though, is that I do remember [...]

Gregory Doran today announced his first season as artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

As I’ve just signed with my brand, spanking new agent I’ve hit Christmas with a new-found enthusiasm and lust for stagey life.
