    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. Using the words of Willy Wonka, this musical can only be described as: ‘pure imagination’. From luscious set design and deliciously […]

    ‘We Live in Time’ (2025) : live, laughed, lost my ability to hold back tears.

    The Good, The Bad, and the Review of Netflix’s ‘Uglies’ (2024)

    Based on Scott Westerfeld’s 2005 young adult novel, Netflix’s adaptation of Uglies is relatively simple. In a dystopian future three hundred years from now, the government funds everything, including the mandated extreme cosmetic surgery everyone receives at the age of 16, transforming them from an ‘Ugly’ into a ‘Pretty’.  Both the book and the film […]
