More Minor Miracles
More Minor Miracles, the magic show starring creators, Malin Nilsson and Charlie Caper, is a phenomenal experience. This show is a true display of world-class sleight of hand magic, combined with humour and technology, making for a one-of-a-kind performance. The duo’s show is a feast for the senses, with intricate magic tricks that will leave you in awe. Malin Nilsson and Charlie Caper’s chemistry is impeccable, making the...
Reclaiming Harry
‘Reclaiming Harry’ is an incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking show that explores the world of Harry Potter from a new and refreshing perspective. The production, presented by Rich Watkins Productions, is an imaginative and fabulously queer quest for a new writer for Harry Potter, who has been “Goblet of Fire-d”. The brilliantly written show stars three talented actors; Jens Radda as Harry, Jemma Allen...

If the gods were actually on Tinder, I think Emma has captured it perfectly in her aptly named song, “If the gods were on Tinder”. Her cheekiness, humour and...

The crowd made their way into Pakapakanthi/Victoria Park and the atmosphere was indeed electric. At the risk of too many electric puns, this reviewer will refrain from inducing groans and move onto the main subject....
