Reviews by KarenThis is the play by George Bernard Shaw that was later turned into the musical My Fair Lady and also used as a basis for otger stories where one character tries to change another.
The set was very sparse and it had a very small cast with all but Higgins, Eliza, Pickering and possibly Freddie playing multiple roles, but if you tried to ignore that it was an enjoyable couple of hours.

This powerful Ken Loach drama is about a former mining town in the North East and how different people treat Syrian refugees who seek refuge in their community.

I got a £20 offer the week before the so saved over half price on opening night tickets.
I had seen the West End version a few years ago. This was seemed to be on a significantly smaller budget with a lot of projections – which looked slightly distorted from the dress circle. Other changes included a taller Lord Farquad. Also they didn’t have all the merchandise available.
However, it was still an enjoyable enough evening despite a delay at the start and end of interval.

This was the second performance of this official touring production and the first time I’ve seen the show since it’s original tour about 9 years ago.
It was just as hilarious with a couple of changes updates from the original version and the TV adaptation.
It is a farce about an amateur drama group putting on a production of Peter Pan – and chaos ensures.
As with other Mischief productions there is a pre- show that starts about 20 minutes before the show which involves various cast searching the auditorium for a hammer, electricity problems, an over-enthusiastic Max waving at the audience and Lucy trying to escape.
They also had a bigger selection of Mischief/Pan related merchandise than I have seen before.

This is the 3rd Kenneth Brannagh Poirot film. It is now 1947 and Poirot has retired to Venice. An old associate the who done it author Ariadne Oliver persuades him to visit a seance with her where mysterious events occur and people start dying.
It has a few jump scares and a bit of a weird story, with supernatural elements and some ambiguous back stories, in this lesser known story.
6/10
This is a satirical farce about corruptions and cover ups involved in deaths in police custody.
Despite the subject matter there are laughs at the absurdity of what occurs during an investigation of an earlier “accidental death of an anarchist” who “fell” out of a window during questioning and died.
