 | PoeThis is a spectacular butchering of Poe. As I walk in everything seems quite promising. Statue like figures are placed among the pews. Chiming, clicking and eerily loud breathing fills the air and the church setting promises a chilling performance. Sadly,... | |

 | Zombie Science: Worst Case ScenarioOh dear. The twenty-somethings in the audience weren't happy. They'd come expecting blood and guts and a good dose of horror kitsch, but all they got was fundamentally a show for schoolchildren. Not a bad show on the whole, but just not the 18+ show they'd... | |

 | I Look: I DivineInterweaving three separate but related stories, Mark Kydd's new autobiographical performance tells, first and foremost, the tale of his growing up gay. That he has an older brother who is also gay is the hook on which the trio of stories hang.
Born and... | |

 | No Man's LandA play littered with second guessing, false pretences and a lot of alcohol would be the most apt generalisation of Brighton Little Theatre’s- or should that be Harold Pinter’s- No Man’s Land.
The brilliance of this 1975 play almost out shone the... | |

 | Kevin Dewsbury - Out NowWith the stereotypical, “Ooh Matron!” persona as articulated by the likes of Alan Carr and the distinct lack of engagement with sexuality as espoused by Simon Amstell and his ilk, comedy which engages with the modern gay man is at a crossroads. This is... | |

 | 3 Days off JesusA comedy reviewer's nightmare is an atypical gig. By that I mean one that either goes down so badly with the audience that you can't get a grip on the material for hearing the pin drop with a thud, or one that goes down so well that you find the material... | |

 | Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang'Carry On meets Hilary Mantel' is such a genius promotional tag line that it's difficult to resist being drawn through the doors to this Reformation Rumble. OK, so it doesn't quite have the absurd humour of the Carry Ons, nor hit the literary heights of... | |
