This week has been absolutely bumper with theatre for me. Unfortunately not much of it will help in terms of actual recommendations as all are closed or closing shortly! However they are definitely worth talking about and you never know they may come somewhere near you one day soon.

Another week in London and it seems that everything grinds to a halt creatively until after the festivals. London in general becomes a summer zone where tourists play and locals run for the hills. However despite the tourists town can be a quite nice place to be in Summer with sunny parks and bars overflowing with custom.

So I am still coming down from the Edinburgh high and as a result haven’t seen anything since Saturday where I saw the lovely Aussie Erin Bruce dance and sing her heart out onstage in Honk, a great kid’s musical in which she plays Penny the beautiful swan.

The most interesting story from this week apart from my mobile being stolen outside the Hackney Empire right before I had to go review a show last night would have to have been my experience at the 24 hour plays at the Old Vic on Sunday night.
