Bronte - Theatre Royal Bath
Made me want to slap a bunch of Edwardians. petulant Teenage girls with too many personal problems. needed a much smaller venue, so the people leaving wouldn't be so obvious to their fellow audience members
Fused - University Theatre
Really interesting show, and one that took us by surprise. A dance show with music videos of Gorillas? and Laundrettes? an amazing performance from all the dance students, finally seeing some of the work of the first years, as well as the veterans
Hippolytus: Re-Framed - University Theatre
something I wasn't prepared for, with a transvestite playing Aphrodite!!! Clearly a Student piece, with the video at the end redundant and just for marks. Certainly does make Sin all the more attractive...
Avenue Q - Theatre Royal Bath
I can see all the hype - cracking show, really entertaining and the humour not often found in the Theatre Royal. just a great show out there to entertain; It doesn't need to break boundaries. worth the ticket all the way
Lear 1864: Trail of Tears - University Theatre
Phenomenal performance from Richard Gittins, a true sign of a future power house. Shakespeare in the deep civil war south, worth every minute.....but do the sword fight better or cut it out......but it's still in the play! Decisions
The Nutcracker - Theatre Royal Bath
It's a wonderful thing to be made 5 years old again. absolute wonderment. a full scale battle in a theatre and so much fake blood!!! Truly a sight to behold, and one of my childhood memories - even if it's a late one

Landscape/Monologue - The Ustinov
Two of the best actors I've been privileged enough to witness; the woman left something to be desired. as for the material, be prepared to watch the actor, rather than narrative
The Others - The Ustinov
A play that questions stereotypes in an original way...finally!! Also, some really impressive student work, a real credit to Performance Students
White Men with Weapons - The Ustinov
Sensational performance, entertaining and entrancing; one talented performer plays every soldier's life we could imagine
