    Review: Showstopper’s, StageSoc’s & SUSU theatre groups’ “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, the Musical” @ The Annex Theatre

    “A person can’t eat daydreams” …Well in this play you can… Now I’m not kidding when I say the show will make you feel as if you’ve won one of those golden tickets yourself.

    Putting on a Shakespeare play is always a massive undertaking, considering the sheer volume of lines, the complexity of the themes and the challenge of finding the modern resonance within a show written many centuries ago. Yet Theatre Group’s production of Macbeth – which is in the Annex until the 29th March – admirably succeeds […]

    ‘Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy’ (2025): An imperfectly perfect film.

    I walked into the cinema with the biggest hope in my heart that this movie wouldn’t let me down and it didn’t. It delivered, if not more than delivered on my expectations for it.  For me, the Bridget Jones movies are a comfort movie, it feels like being wrapped in a big warm hug, but […]

    Review: Showstoppers’ Beauty and the Beast @ The Annex Theatre

    Showstoppers kick start their year with their ‘Fresher’s Show’ – a cast full of those who haven’t yet acted for the society. They showcase this group of novices (or so they claim) with Beauty and the Beast, in a production that was as delightful, charming, fearsome and frightening as the title might suggest… Beauty and […]
