Review: BETTE AND JOAN at Park Theatre

Either side of a partition wall, and many years after their respective heydays, the feuding grand dames of 1930s-40s Hollywood, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, break the fourth wall and reminisce as they prepare to go on set to film the early 1960s schlocker Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

Review: JACK AND THE BEANSTALK: WHAT A WHOPPER! at Charing Cross Theatre

The smutty jokes and campy asides come thick and fast (apologies, I just had to) as the He’s Behind You team present their follow-up to last year’s rip-roaring adult panto success (Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick!) with their spin on the family favourite which sees an athletic-but-dim lad clambering eagerly atop something which has grown enormous over night!
