Every year on my birthday my parents would take me to visit my Auntie Sue and Uncle Barry for birthday tea. Their bungalow was always warm and inviting; the
plastic coal fire always roaring. Salad, pork pie, scotch egg; battenburg. Sue had an impressively modern tupperware device for washing lettuce; a dark brown
circular tub [...]

Tunnel 228
Punchdrunk Theatre Company
Waterloo
The advertising is mysterious: directed to an obscure website advertising a company called Track and Rail Cleaning LTD. I click a link and a flash animation flickers before my eyes, the hands of a clock spinning. “Lost? Tunnel 228”. I reserve a timeslot for this as yet unidentified experience and book [...]

The Smile Off Your Face
Ontroerend Goed
I have been tied up and touched up in the dark many a time in the name of art. I approach ‘The Smile Off Your Face’ knowing I will be bound into a wheelchair and blindfolded before being led on a sensory journey.
As someone who has previously experienced a raft [...]

Star Rating: Three Stars (of Five)
I find myself not moved but soothed by tonight’s performance in which John Moran and his real life neighbour Saori work together to create detailed portraits of scenes observed and recreated from Moran’s life.

Part 1
Slumdog Millionaire is a wonderful, feelgood, romantic movie. Utterly moving, well made, perfectly paced. Dev Patel expertly underplays his part and is convincing as the lovelorn orphan he portrays. Whilst the plot device of the Millionaire gameshow format is at first jarring, it works effectively in the progression of the narrative. Boyle understands catharsis [...]
Wayne MacGregor – Infra

I caught up with Infra, the new ballet by Wayne MacGregor (Chroma) last night on the BBC which is clearly not the best way to experience such a thing. My criticisms are based upon this and so are perhaps not as useful as those of those who were present in the flesh.
