Lear. Trail of Tears
A masterful piece of performance reworking one of Shakespeare's classics. "Lear.Trail of Tears" takes all of Shakespeare's original drama and replaces it into the American Civil war, year 1864. The acting was magnificent and although not done by proffessional actors' the quality of talent was stunning. The set and design added to the mesmerising overall performance.
Review for Avenue Q
One of the best socio-political musicals presented on stage. Avenue Q explores areas such as sexuality and relationships aswell as the meaning of life through highly amusing performances and racy songs.
The humour is superb and the puppetry and acting wonderful, a real treat for the eyes and ears!

Review of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'
This was a typical musical to go see. Pure good fun, well acted and with actors' whose voices could only have been meant for the theatre Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' was performed and acted flawlessly. Catchy songs added to the simple storyline of love and romance mixed with a moral on how to treat a lady. All round an enjoyable night out.
Theatre Review of The Merry Wives of Windsor
The Merry Wives of Windsor was a hugely enjoyable piece of work performed in the Theatre Royal Bath. Sticking to conventional Shakespeare traditions this lovely little comedy stole our attention away and provided us with an evening of high entertainment.
"The Factory"
"The Factory by the Earthfall Theatre Comapny is an interesting piece of work about the work of Andy Warhol. A conteporary physical theatre piece that although visually stunning was not coherent in it's potrayal of the plot.

Hamlet by The Two Gents Company
Being a Shakespeare fan I am only desirous to see classical adaptations of his works. Alhough this play was an amusing and interesting take on one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies I was distinctly unamused. If you are a classicalist, I would not advise this play, interesting as it may be.
