\"\"By day I am a freelance editor and copywriter but in the evening I escape into the world of theatre and have been writing about it since 2003.<\/p>\n

I’ll watch pretty much anything from something performed on a stage the size of a tea tray to the West End and beyond.<\/p>\n

The only exception is musicals. Tried ’em and they just don’t do anything positive for me.<\/p>\n

Please do invite me to review plays and I’m also interested in interview opportunities too.<\/p>\n

I am not always able to respond to all requests but I do appreciate people getting in touch.<\/p>\n

What else do you need to know?<\/p>\n

I will try and flag up potential spoilers but if it’s Shakespeare or something that appears as part of an English Literature syllabus I’ll assume readers know the plot.<\/p>\n

Hamlet is my favourite Shakespeare, Ibsen wins over Chekhov, although I persist with the latter, and Ben Whishaw is my favourite actor.<\/p>\n

I’m a fan but not a fan-girl so I will highlight flaws, regardless of how much I love a particular actor\/director\/writer. Nobody is perfect, certainly not me.<\/p>\n
