Fresh Look: SCHOOL OF ROCK at the Gillian Lynne Theatre
By Isabella James Wednesday, September 26 2018, 14:53
This West End production brings to the stage all of the fun, quotable moments of the film but with an added underlying story about children under pressure from pushy parents. Andrew Lloyd-Webber has used the songs from the Jack Black movie but added a number of extra solos and anthems, including the catchy and rebellious ‘Stick it to the Man’.

Review: LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST at The Globe Theatre
By Isabella James Thursday, September 6 2018, 09:24
One of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies and least performed plays, Love’s Labour’s Lost is a play about contrasts; boys and girls, chastity and promiscuity, comedy and tragedy, the ‘owl and the cuckoo.’ Nick Bagnell directs this version of the 400-year-old play in The Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at The Globe. As is tradition, the whole play is lit by candlelight which has cleverly been made into a feature of the plot and concept.
