Roaming In Rome
I was in Rome last weekend. What a place. Until you’re there you have no idea of the scale of their incredible architecture. Stunning. I took my video camera and ended up filming the opening scene for my latest documentary, when by chance the Pope popped out of his balcony at St Peter’s and blessed tens of thousands of people in the square. It was a great start to filming. I can’t tell you what it’s about nor what the name of it is, but I’ve given a code name of The Time Project and you can join the group on Facebook if you want to follow the journey of the film.

I’m off to Glasgow this weekend, so it’s another early newsletter. It’s the Rangers v Celtic Cup Final at Hampden and I’ve organised some hospitality for the day with some friends and family. Really looking forward to it. Hope you have a good weekend planned.

Reviewers: New York and Edinburgh
A UKTheatre reviewer is a voluntary role and suits those who are truly passionate about theatre. Attending press nights, fringe, musicals and touring productions, they share their experience of the performance in a blog at UKTheatre.TV which gets millions of hits every year. The reviews are also submitted in a weekly newsletter which is distributed extensively on a variety of social networks and email distribution lists.
We are now looking to compliment our teams in Edinburgh and New York with those with the right drive, enthusiasm and experience. Most of our reviewers are theatre actors, directors and journalists. If this interests you, then please send an email introducing yourself and experience to editor@uktheatre.net

Sweeney Todd Demon Barber of Fleet Street
The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch
Review by Kelly Potter
After the success of Tim Burton’s film, I was expecting an all singing all dancing spectacular, and was more than pleasantly surprised as the experience proved to be quite different. Not a song in earshot.

The Caretaker at Bolton Octagon
Review by Caroline May
This slightly surreal three-hander is a stage version of scissors-paper-stone, as a trio of oddly-assorted characters vie for supremacy in a seedy bedsit.

Bobby Pattinson and Friends
The Customs House, South Shields, Tyne & Wear
Review by Steve Burbridge
Bobby, a tireless charity fund-raiser, is a spritely seventy-five year old with the gift of the gab and a mischievous twinkle in his eye. His gigs are always popular with audiences who revel in the type of entertainment that was once the staple of Clubland for decades, but is now, sadly, all too rare.

The Duchess of Malfi
The White Bear Theatre Club
Review by Samuel Miller
This Duchess is a naïve, spoilt royal, unaccustomed to taking responsibility and ignorant of consequences. Ferdinand and the Cardinal – monsters though they may be – are genuinely wronged by their sister’s betrayal, and this is the first time I have seen a production that examines this.
