If you enjoy the almost dystopian then I would highly recommend The Walworth Farce. There's comedy, there's tragedy and there's so much detail.

Diary #5 – Under Circe’s Spell
I made a new discovery this week, BorrowBox, the audiobook lending service, which I’m hoping will help me get through my INSANELY huge TBR. I also visited the National Theatre for the first time in what feels like forever to see Under Milk Wood. I still haven’t finished any physical books and to be honest went through a bit of a reading slump, but listening to audiobooks has definitely helped.
Diary #3 – A Delivery from Egypt
This week I finished a book and started a new one, whilst enjoying the glorious sunshine, that conveniently disappeared every time I went to the park… I also booked tickets for a show I have wanted to see for ages so am incredibly excited!
Diary #2 – The Show Intends to Go On
Somehow it is already June and, rejoice, the sunshine has finally appeared. I finished a book, started a new one whilst buying and borrowing a lot more! I also saw some wonderful live performances and booked to see another, so all in all, a good week.
Diary #1 – Flying to Guernsey in Search of a Tailor
Seeing as I’ve been pretty terrible at keeping up to date with monthly wrap ups I thought I’d give myself a challenge to write shorter but more frequent updates in the form of a diary, which will include what I’ve read, what I’ve been to see at the theatre and anything else significant that I… Continue reading Diary #1 – Flying to Guernsey in Search of a Tailor
Three Kings
After much anticipation, yesterday was the day that I got to sit down in my living room, with my boyfriend and enjoy some live theatre! As part of the Old Vic's In Camera season the theatre live streamed the production of a new play, Three Kings by Stephen Beresford starring Andrew Scott. As this was… Continue reading Three Kings
Lungs
A few weeks ago I received an email from The Old Vic advertising their live, socially distanced, performance of Lungs, and I immediately set a reminder on my phone to buy tickets on the release date. I've been missing the theatre terribly, although I feel very lucky that the National Theatre have been releasing plays… Continue reading Lungs
Frankenstein
This week's NT at Home Production was an amazing rendition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller switch between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and The Creature in different performances so you can you can pick which to watch. Last night's premiere saw Cumberbatch play The Creature and Jonny Lee Miller portray… Continue reading Frankenstein
Twelfth Night
The National Theatre recently announced they they will continue their run of streaming previous live performances on YouTube which I'm incredibly happy about! This week's production was Twelfth Night, which I have neither studied or seen a production of unless you count She's the Man - the Amanda Bynes film adapted from the play (but… Continue reading Twelfth Night
One Man, Two Guvnors
In case you hadn't heard The National Theatre are doing something wonderful in these uncertain times. As we are all unable to visit the theatre at the moment, they have explored their archives and organised the streaming of some of their most popular shows in the last few years. The first showing was last night,… Continue reading One Man, Two Guvnors
