5* review of @TheRSC Hamlet. https://t.co/EeWVU5QKB4 reviewer @gingerknit , Luke Thallon’s Hamlet is an electrifying departure from the brooding, introspective portrayals we’ve come to expect. His Hamlet is charged with nervous energy .. Exceptional performances across the board

4* review Re:INCARNATION QDance Company https://t.co/1BY5EML9PR reviewer @gingerknit @DanceConsortium It feels at once ancient yet strikingly modern. .... the dancers embody the spirit of Lagos — dynamic, rooted in history, yet always evolving.

5* review for @TheRSC As You Like It. https://t.co/Jfol209C4G reviewer @gingerknit The use of song and music enhances the storytelling and the whole cast excels in their dual roles. This is an ideal show to introduce new younger audiences to Shakespeare.

5* for The Children @NottmPlayhouse https://t.co/b1tRdk5jlL review @gingerknit The themes from this thought-provoking play along with Hazel, Rose & Robin will stay with you long after you’ve left the theatre... timely reminder that human actions have significant consequences...

Absolutely bloody loved Ben and Imo @TheRSC last night #SamuelBarnett and @VictoriaYeates are simply brilliant. Still pondering the nature of genius and the willingness of women to support self-obsessed mercurial men. #BenandImo #Theatre

25 minutes and still waiting @parcelforce you claim someone tried to deliver my parcel yesterday. They didn’t I was in all day. You claim a card was out through my letterbox. It wasn’t. How do I get my parcel from a local post office when I don’t know which one and have no card?

@DerbyTheatre 4* review for Titled Wig's Frankenstein https://t.co/FcXgRTMrui The staging of this production benefits from a cleverly constructed set. Flipping from an intimate cramped wooden hut to Frankenstein’s cold clinical laboratory. Reviewer @gingerknit
