Rose Of June, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Iain Hopkins, Gemma Banks, Christopher Rae.

Nobody has the monopoly on grief, nobody feels the dejection in the same way as anybody else and nobody should ever dictate to another human being just how long grief should ever take to get through the system. When a person loses someone either close to them or someone they may have only known through the public eye of the media, what they feel upon that person’s departure is real to them and in the end it takes a friend just sit and listen and occasionally talk in which the inconsolable and heartbroken can work through the five stages of grief.

Mind The Gap, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool. (2014)

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Rachel Worsley, Rik Grayson, Errol Smith, Harki Bhambra.

There is a tightening feel in the back of the throat. The stomach, once calm in the open air of the London streets has started to behave like a badly serviced washing machine and the dank, dirty, dusty air is causing the lungs and pores to feel as though scrubbing for a month will not get the skin clean as it clings and scrapes away at any vestige left of reason like an urban fox clawing at the remains of a deep fried chicken and chips strewn on the pavements after one last beer was had.

The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote Of La Mancha, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Stephen Harper, Merce Ribot, Patricia Rodriguez, Maria Camahort.

To anyone who has ever taken the time to read arguably one of the great novels, The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha or have even spent time in the beautiful medieval part of the city of Alcalá de Henares and looked upon Cervantes’ birthplace, then it is to know history. You can only ever wonder just what would make anybody want to even attempt to take it on a theatre piece; you would have to be as mad surely as Don Quixote himself to even try it.
