The Elixir of Love

An Opera in Acts performed by The Welsh National Opera

Composed by Gaetano Donizetti


Review by Yvonne Penne-Stuart

What a delightful evening – certainly one to uplift the spirits.  The cast obviously enjoyed performing this merry romantic comedy, and clearly the audience enjoyed watching it.







Review by Tremayne Potter

May I first say what a novel idea it was to showcase original material from New International Musicals, as well as The Company cleverly including their own material in the line-up.







Review by John Sinclair

The play helps to highlight the human tragedy of war. How circumstances can make a person treat their fellow man in such a cruel way.  Also, how anyone who tries to make a stand against this is crushed by an unjust and uncaring system




Hot Flush !

UK National Tour
Reviewed at Darlington Civic Theatre



Myra, Sylvia, Jessica and Helen all have one thing in common – they are each going through the menopause. The women meet every Tuesday evening to share in their experiences, their secrets, their highs and lows and, together, they make up the ‘Hot Flush Club.’




God Of Carnage



Review by Catherine Brian

God of Carnage is a one act situation comedy.  The situation is two sets of parents meeting in one of their apartments in order to discuss one of the couple’s sons being hit by the other couple’s son.  A believable situation.







Review by Yvonne Penne-Stuart

I have never seen Giselle before but this production by the Russian State Ballet of Siberia was really worth waiting for.  This is of course a truly romantic ballet in the old fashion fantasy style with beautiful sets and magnificent costumes.



2009 UK Tour

Review by Yvonne Penne-Stuart

The sets and costumes were extremely colourful; some might think the former were a little over the top at times, but that is really what Coppelia is all about.  The dancing was of excellent quality, with Natalia Goroshko dancing Swanilda being outstandingly the best.





Review by Clare Brotherwood

In the fifties and sixties Doris Day churned out 39 movies and 650 pop songs. But she is equally remembered for her wholesome image. However, in A Sentimental Journey - which is currently enjoying its world premiere - writer Adam Rolston lifts the lid on her life to reveal three marriages before she was 30, bereavement, and a life-changing car accident.








Review by Clare Brotherwood

If Juliet Stevenson doesn’t win an award for her role in the powerful two-hander Duet For One, then I’ll lose faith in life itself…

Flash of Genius

Review by Katherine Hayes

It’s an entertaining piece of film making which shows an insight into the lengths to which big car corporations in the 1960s through to the 1980s went to silence their detractors.
