The Bardic Breakfasters are back! C’s Shakespearean sensation returns for its twentieth sellout edition. 

Belt Up's The Boy James

Belt Up's The Boy James

For all the excellent performances and wonderfully controlled aesthetic, this production amounts to nothing more than average; because it’s Belt Up, that’s disappointing. 

Thirty Two Teeth

Thirty Two Teeth

JamJar’s follow up to Following Wendy is a disappointment on the scale of Grease 2, The Matrix Reloaded and Godfather 3 combined.

The show is set entirely to parodies of songs from well-known musicals and classic 80s pop hits. 

Nobody's Home: A Modern Odyssey

A Day in November

A Day In November is a beautifully controlled and tenderly delivered reflection on the mind’s descent towards death.
