Hello friends. I never know how to start a blog post. Is 'hello friends' too informal? And what if everyone who reads doesn't want to be my friend? Anyway, I digress. I'll know how to start my posts one day. So shortly I shall be moving out of London. In fact it was meant to … Continue reading More than just a building | The Colab Factory

It's been a while since I last wore about a show isn't it...shall we change that? March 18th 2020 was the last time I saw a show. I have started writing this post on July 13th. Nearly four months. That is the longest I have gone without seeing a show since I turned 18...(Yes I … Continue reading Time to do your part for your king and country…| England Expects Review
Another month come and gone...I can't quite believe it is June already! We are already halfway through 2020. As another month indoors passed, I once again was able to read to my hearts content.

Where possible I will try and keep anonymity on specific names. So as I said in my 'open … Continue reading Immersive theatre vs anxiety
The same as most literature and/or theatre students: I. LOVE. SHAKESPEARE. I love reading it, analysing it, performing it and seeing it performed. With one condition. If it is performed well.

As I said in my first post on here … Continue reading Shakespeare done the right way | A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Bridge Theatre | Review
Here I am, on the 4th of June...and I have just handed in my dissertation. This is the hardest I have ever worked on an academic piece. It's a years worth of hard work. Hours poring over my laptop, endless research, reading, editing and a good 5+ breakdowns of me saying 'I can't do it'. … Continue reading Do what people say you can’t
Another month in Lockdown done and dusted, and you'll know if you read one of my previous posts about a book I read, that lockdown has kicked me back into properly reading again. May was an exceptionally bookish month for me, where I read 8 books - 3 re-reads and 5 new reads. I've never … Continue reading May bookish round-up
So here it is. My first post in a fair while. A bit of a different post today. Ironically, I thought lockdown would be the perfect time to write loads...but to be completely honest, I've got 5 blog posts in my drafts folder, but my writing hasn't felt good enough to post, which is why … Continue reading I miss it
Hello, all you lovely people. I hope you are all doing as well as you can be in the current circumstances...if someone is reading this in the future when everything has resumed normality and this is all a distant memory (unlikely, but you never know!)...a large majority of the UK (and actually, the world) are … Continue reading Each of us carries a map of our lives on our skin, in the way we walk, even the way we grow. | A Girl Of Ink And Stars Book Review
