It may make Shakespeare purists twitch but I absolutely loved it! Breathes new life into a familiar play @TheRSC #Hamlet #Shakespeare

5* review of @TheRSC Hamlet. eastmidlandstheatre.com/2025… 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 eastmidlandstheatre.com/2024… 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. eastmidlandstheatre.com/2024… 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.

Still musing the answer to the questions raised including ‘how do I live with less’ and what is it with pesky chin hairs? #theatre #Nottingham #theatregreenbook @NottmPlayhouse @MantleClive @harker56

5* for The Children @NottmPlayhouse eastmidlandstheatre.com/2024… 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?

4* review for The Importance of Being Earnest @LMTheatre eastmidlandstheatre.com/2023… This was my first visit to The Lace Market Theatre and based on this production it certainly won’t be my last. After all, as Wilde puts it “I can resist everything except temptation." @gingerknit

@DerbyTheatre 4* review for Titled Wig's Frankenstein eastmidlandstheatre.com/2023… 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
