Wendy & Peter Pan
Fantastic staging and great performances from a good cast.
It was a little overlong and the plot at times irritated me because of the stereotyping.

I like cosy murder mysteries so I came to see Midsomer Murders: Murder at Badger’s Drift
Starring Daniel Casey who was the original sidekick on tv (Troy) now playing Tom Barnaby who used to be played by Bergerac 😀
Anyway it was a lot of fun even if I knew the plot!

Set in 1969, this play had the right atmosphere - wallpaper included.
Good performances from a strong cast but the twist didn’t land as a surprise with me.

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
Lucky enough to see a rehearsal of Mischief’s new version of their Christmas show.
We were asked not to post photos in case it spoiled anything, but I can tell you that it’s very funny and great to have a new take on a classic.

Interesting concept and two very talented performers. Henry V becomes a powerful lens through which we see current events.
A blend of seriousness and comedy made this well worth the visit.

Assassins
Sondheim musical about those who’ve tried and/or succeeded to assassinate presidents.
A lot of US history I didn’t know (particularly the Nixon and Ford eras).
A razzmatazz show yet at times it felt flat.
Banger of an ending though.

Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts
I’ve had a mixed experience of play adaptations of TV shows but decided to book because I love the Morse series and like Tom Chambers.
I enjoyed it (despite some moments of pure cheese) and would see more.

I admit I was interested in this show because of Robert Sean Leonard, who I loved in House.
Anyway it’s a decent play with a good plot and two very good actors.

First run in a week. Deviated from my normal route today and ended up running up a lot of steep roads but sadly didn’t seem to find any downhill paths - how does that work?
Third longest run (not saying much as I’m a 5k-er at heart and legs) and still a decent pace.

Born With Teeth
Great play with two astonishing actors. I knew Gatwa would be fab but Bluemel was exceptional too. The play started off quite light with some edge, yet took a much darker turn by the end.

Very interesting musical about the life of Mozart, particularly focusing on his family relationships.
As it turned out, I was sitting next to the writer and had a great chat with her about the show and the inspiration.
