In a time of year where the trend is for tinsel, carols and festive cheer, Chasing Bono is more about bacon sarnies, shattered dreams and teenage angst making it to theatre what The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl are to Christmas songs.
Review: Cuckoo (Soho Theatre, London)
Director Debbie Hannan has crafted a masterful production that clocks in at nearly two hours into slow burning theatrical king hit that demands your attention.
Review: Touching The Void (Bristol Old Vic)
It is as exhilarating and as exhausting as the climb itself – and as beautiful and awe-inspiring as the mountain Simpson and Yates set out to conquer.
Review: Henry V (Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory, Bristol)
Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory’s latest offering yields many strong and a couple of exceptional performances.

Review: Notes From The Field (LIFT Festival, Royal Court Theatre)
This is an extraordinary theatrical experience given in kindness, strength and bucket loads of humanity that provides a platform for change.
