"Handbagged" at the Tricycle Theatre is very good, especially if you're remotely interested in politics and/or the '80s. You can get there on the Jubilee Line very easily from London Bridge or on the Bakerloo Line. Top tickets are ?26 but the single seats on the balcony at the sides are very good value at around half that price.

Let The Right One In, which I saw at the Royal Court before Christmas and is transferring to the West End. I can recommend it highly but it is scary.


I saw 1984 at the Almeida last week. Very well done but a bit grim (obviously).


Next week me and Hibbs are going to see the lovely and talented Lesley Sharp in A Taste of Honey. It is getting good reviews.

Blimey! Didn't know there was a theatre production of that. The book and the original film are fantastic.

Yes, very well done at the Royal Court. Outstanding. If you book your tickets for the West End play via the Royal Court, you get a better deal. Here's a link

Cheers, might try and give that a bash.

Just Googled him. Still with us. 81 years old and still going strong. Fantastic. Might go to this production on the strength that he is in it. Childhood heroes of mine were the men from U.N.C.L.E

The Weir is pants, and reviews completly wrong. Assume it was reviewed when at Donmar, and it hasn't travelled well.

Last month I went to see Alan Ayckbourn's 'A Small Family Business' and was very lucky to get to a dress rehearsal of 'Great Britain' starring Robert Glenister and (don't laugh) Billie Piper and I have to say the latter former pop star was surprisingly good. As were most of the cast to be fair.

Billie Piper is a very natural actor.


Meanwhile, if you're after something classy in the Fringe, I can recommend Flowers Of The Field at the White Bear, by Kevin Mandry. Those of you from Sussex area might particular be interested but it is a very sweet poignant play. Finishes this Sunday I think.

Greenwich Theatre is currently showing three LAMDA final year productions (until Tuesday 15th). Talented young actors, an interesting mix of plays (take your pick from Tennessee Williams, Martin Crimp or Stella Feehily via George Farquhar) and very reasonable ticket prices - what's not to like?

I saw Skylight last night. Excellent. A great script and really well acted, (especially cooking the ragu). You'll love it.

Great! Good to have a "real person" review.

    • Malumbu, you were saying to posters on here "well where else will the money come from" and this highlights one of the major challenges for Labour. Take the very issue being discussed on health related benefit claims. When you look at the data on what has been happening it really shows what a problem it has become but, of course, a Labour government can't possibly attack that area in the same way they go after others - it's easy for Labour to attack the perceptual cruise-going pensioners, toffs at private school and (with less effectiveness) rich land owning farmers. Liz Kendall was on Laura K on Sunday and you could tell talking about the issue (which the government clearly have to deal with) was really difficult because what they are going to have to do is very un-Labour because the situation is out of control and they have to get on top of it.
    • and were people like you worried about "cutting hiring, prices going up and new business not starting" under the last govt or as a result of brexit I don't have labour blinkers - I didn't even vote labour at the election.  But do take a look at the data for that petition - and see how many actually come from UK
    • Take your labour blinkers off sir, Businesses are cutting hiring, prices will go up and new businesses won't start all as a result in the NI hike for employers  Talking down the country pre budget also knocked consumer confidence  Tomorrow labour are goung to announce getting young people into education or employment, yet with the above where will those jobs come from ?  The three people who sent the pertition to me are all small business owners who are taking the brunt of the changes introduced in the budget, one is even talking about closing as it impacts margins so heavily.  This is why people are unhappy. Labour hog tied themselves by promising no tax rises on working people and now the economy is suffering.  Take the red pill sir, not the blue one.
