A couple of weeks ago my boyfriend decided to surprise me with tickets to the theatre. He didn't say which show or play it was going to be so I reeled off every show I wanted to see that was playing in London to see if I could work out what we were going to see. But my boyfriend maintained it was to be a surprise so no matter how hard I guessed he was not telling me. However he did admit it was not Dirty Dancing as he thought I'd already seen it! Wrong! But that's now on the list for next time! So Friday night came and we had a pre theatre dinner in Soho before heading to the theatre for the 8pm show. On route to the Criterion Theatre I was told ...  Read the complete review

This is a really quirky adaptation of the 39 steps and not what I was expecting at all. The Criterion theatre stands right on the corner of Oxford Circus. You enter the theatre at street level but as the theatre is built deep underground and so have to walk down a couple of flights to get to teh stage level. I'm not sure about lifts for thos not able to walk. The theatre is decorated in 19th Century opulance so it is like stepping back to the Theatres hay day. The prices in the bar weren't too bad especially by London standards. The play is in the style of a comedy with a number of double entendre and as there are only 4 actors there ...  Read the complete review

I saw this play last weekend, and I haven't laughed so much in a long time. This really is an extremely amusing play. We chose this play on the recommendation of a review which claimed it to be the funniest play in the West End at the moment, which I took with the usual pinch of salt, but decided to give it a try anyway. It really is. Maybe the funniest thing in the West End ever. I won't give away too much of of the plot, not that it would really spoil the experience. The 39 Steps, by John Buchanan was most famously directed by Alfred Hitchcock in the 1935 film, but this play, which is produced by Maria Aitken, while based on the same film (rather than the ...  Read the complete review
