The Odyssey by Homer– Performed by The Factory, at the CLF Art Cafe (**** from this happy camper.) It’s hard to see how an evening of acting out every book of Homer’s The Odyssey could be an evening of fast-paced, clever, interactive and humorous theatre—but it genuinely is all of the above. The Factory bill the […]
The latest theatre adventure took me to The New Wimbledon Theatre for their performance of Aladdin. Now, as somewhat of a foreigner to British shores, pantomime is not something that is overly familiar to me. I’ve been a couple of times, but I find the productions so bizarre and the entire concept to be very […]
My second ‘Immerisve Theatre’ adventure in New York took me to the Arts Nova production of Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. The performance is a musical adaptation of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. That in itself is a bit of a daunting premise, but it’s a surprisingly lively romp though what […]
Now that the bulk of the festivities are over, I’ve finally gotten around to posting the outcome of part two of my present-wrapping extravaganza. This is what I made for my wrapping paper for Christmas in my hometown of Allentown, PA, USA. I used two of the same stamps from the UK Christmas, but they […]
After two incredible visits to Punchdrunk’s London-based immersive theatre spectacle The Drowned Man, I finally found myself in New York City to see their production of Sleep No More– a fully interactive interpretation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The entire experience is a fantastic whirlwind adventure into the secrets, betrayal, and ambition prevalent in Macbeth. You live […]
2012 was one of the more tricky years of my life, and I went into 2013 determined to just get better. I was struggling to walk in a cast and not able to work. It was a very trying start to the year. I don’t really do resolutions, but I aimed to improve on what I could. […]
The last immersive theatre adventure of the year took our theatre club to Covent Garden for a lively interactive production of “Once Upon a Christmas” by creative theatre group Look Right Look Left. The premise is a bit cheesy at best – and perfectly suited to the pantomime style of the production. The Christmas Wedding […]
Here’s some Christmas and Winter photos from my time in America. The incredibly snowy ones are from my hometown, Allentown. It’s got a bad reputation, but it is such a beautiful place if you know where to look! All the photos were shot on a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.
Our work Christmas drinks night was festive themed this year- Christmas jumpers or elf suits. Casual. Now, I love Christmas. I also love dressing up, but I do not have any winter-y dress up clothes, no elf costume, and no ridiculous Christmas jumper. I also have no money, and no time. Rough combo. With that […]
I love Christmas design and wrapping. I normally spend a lot of time picking out the *perfect* wrapping paper for my gifts each year so that they all look like a cohesive set. However, because I have two Christmases – one slightly early in London and the other on the 25th in my hometown of […]
