I thought the singing was OK, Michael Praed…

On Thursday 18^th of April I attended Chapter Arts Centre in Canton, Cardiff to view the production Love and Money.

Love and Money tells the story of relationships, heartache, sacrifice, obsession and money within the marriage of a young couple, David and Jess.

Sitting on the balcony looking down at the huge revolving table as incense filled the room was the beginning of our initiation to the…

An Unlikely Ensemble

When you see the set for Ladykillers you can be excused for thinking that little tipple of wine you had at lunchtime just tipped you over into a world where your vision had become slightly out of line with reality. Almost everything in your…
