This evening’s preset for The Testament of Gideon Mack at @traversetheatre.bsky.social was so out of focus, here’s one from the interval. Review to follow on MustSeeTheatre.com. #Reviewing

Review | Wallowing and relentless, this Death of A Salesman is a miserabilist’s delight that doesn’t always engage. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Train home after Death of a Salesman. Had forgotten just what a slog Arthur Miller can be… even with the presence of the great David Hayman on stage. This review is going to be ‘fun’ to write. Will be live on @mustseetheatre.bsky.social tomorrow.

Tonight’s preset for Death of a Salesman at @GlasgowPavilion. #PressNight

Tonight’s entertainment is David Hayman in The Death of A Salesman, coming in at just under three hours, I’m told. Review to follow on @mustseetheatre.bsky.social. #Pressnight @kingsandroyal.bsky.social

#Glasgow-bound. Time to start casting for #EdFringe. Here’s my platform view.

Six years ago today I was interviewing Edinburgh actor Jack McKenzie, better known to #StarWars fans as Cal Alder. In The Empire Strikes Back. Great guy with some fantastic stories.

#PetShopBoys pals. Always good to catch up with John Venters and talk all things Neil and Chris. Some great memories relived today. #NeverBeingBoring

A little exclusive for Must See Theatre. Sir Tim Rice shares the piece of theatre that changed his life. #MusicalTheatre

Well deserved recognition for Matthew Bourne’s phenomenal production of Lionel Bart’s Oliver! Here’s my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MustSeeTheatre.com review. mustseetheatre.com/review-magni...

Sad to read Kathryn Apanowicz has died aged just 64. Seemed such a lovely person. A familiar face from #Emmerdale, #CoronationStreet and #Eastenders but for me she will always be Angels’ Rose Butchins. Adored her in that role. #RIPKathrynApanowicz

Get ready to scream, The Woman In Black is back to haunt theatres across the UK this Autumn. #theatres #scares

Big birthday shout out today goes to #Edinburgh Monarchs’ Capitain, Paco Castagna. Have a great day, Paco! #speedway

Look who’s playing The Clown and The Wolfman in Restless Natives The Musical. #MusicalTheatre

Buttered bran scone (late breakfast). Not had one of these for decades. Hardly ever see them now. The ‘Old Lady’ used to swear by them.

Ola! 🇪🇸

London Theatre Week extends by a week adding thousands more tickets to West End hits from £15.

One of my favourite interviewees, actor Perry Benson, has just recorded his first #podcast, for #ThePodfather Terry Stone’s #TheCriminalConnection. Top interview. Nice one, Perry. Might have to rewatch #GoingOut now. Podcast here: youtu.be/nfHDBwF3-78 📸EdFringe 2017

Stunning Season 2 (or 41, depending how old you are) trailer reel for the new series of #DoctorWho. Loving Ncuti Gatwa’s incarnation and great to see Bonnie Langford, Millie Gibson and Anita Dobson back.

Counting down the weeks until John McGillivray and myself return to #TheTower and #Edinburgh Monarchs’ 2025 team take to Armadale for the first time!

The March edition of @edinreporter.bsky.social is now available in print and online. You’ll find my @mustseetheatre.bsky.social spread for the month on pages 18+19. Happy theatre-going!

Dear Evan Hansen, today is a good day… both performances at @kingsandroyal.bsky.social #Glasgow, are SOLD OUT! Read my interview with Ryan Kopel and Sonny Monaghan on @mustseetheatre.bsky.social. Coming to @edinplayhouse.bsky.social 1-5 July 2025

I remember seeing #DoctorWho #PeterDavison perform this show on the back of a lorry in #Leith Links as part of the port’s Gala Day! @edinreporter.bsky.social theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/02/dr-w...

Always good to see Gary Shail pop up in a piece of classic telly. Today it’s #TheBill.

Morning… Looking forward to meeting Ring-A-Ding, voiced by the one and only #AlanCumming. #DoctorWho

#Edinburgh

Finally watched #Surge. Relentless, bleak and emotionally draining, #BenWhishaw’s beautifully devastating performance is completely spellbinding in its brilliance. #film

So, #Bergerac is back… only it’s not. Just another generic, cliche ridden copper with a problem masquerading under the name. Will be surprised if it runs to a second series.

Very sad news. Oscar-winning US actor Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog have been found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Review | Eighties’ icon Toyah sets clunky nostalgia-fest alight but if ever a production screamed out to be a singalong, this is it… ⭐️⭐️⭐️
