GOAT & ALISON COTTON

Cripes-a-Lordy, GOAT deliver an immense set, whilst the beauty of ALISON COTTON is rather overwhelmed by audience chatter:

The Hoosiers

The thing that impressed me most about the fireworks at Heveningham was, it seemed to me, a real desire to give everyone attending a thoroughly delightful evening, chosing to pack the evening with fun.

Blossoms

THERAPY? & DEUX FURIEUSES

Nostalgia may not be what it used to be but the early songs of Therapy? are as vital now as they were 30 or more years ago.

Birdsong

Birdsong staged scenes as powerful as I can recall ever seeing in a theatre, offering a coherent and deeply moving account of bravery in war, the damage war does, and most fundamentally, the wretchedly pointlessness of it all..

Home

I can always admire a show that takes risks, and a theatre company that takes pride in that, especially in devised work. With this, Temper have produced a genuinely thought provoking show. I’m intrigued to see what they get up to next.

Carlos Acosta's 'Nutcracker In Havana'

Nutcracker in Havana is an absolute Christmas Cracker of a show

The Windrush Secret

The authenticity with which Rodreguez King-Dorset portrayed the three characters involved was so precise that I had to keep reminding myself they were being played by the same man - the only man on stage.

Baque Luar - NNF 2024

Baque Luar is all about the beat, and that is what their first visit to Norwich will be remembered for, long after this year's Norfolk & Norwich Festival has ended.

Apartment House NNF 2024

The musicians’ performance was very respectful of the original album and largely managed to recreate its dark, chilling, chaotic quality while being able to add subtle touches of their personality

An Accident/ A life

Viewed as pure spectacle, this was the kind of grandstanding show not seen at the festival for years, thankfully forestalling what had been a shrinking theatrical component. The bigger question, however, is whether that spectacle served the show's strong autobiographical content.

Laura Misch - NNF 2024

Another wonderfully atmospheric music evening within the Adnams Spiegeltent.

Brown Horse - Reservoir

It’s a brilliant debut with all the flavours and buzz of that very special gig.

Lonely The Brave - What We Do To Feel

Brix and Bones

I usually try to surmise at the end of a review, but let’s put our cards on the table: what is to follow is an attempt to do justice to one of the most exciting, most exceptional meals I’ve had in a long time.

Danomey Kitchen @ The Stanley

A month in but Danomey kitchen are serving beautiful plates with a whole heap of great tastes.

Blue's Kitchen @ The Rosebery

Blue's kitchen made their name with their impressive lockdown takeaways, now this was my chance to go out, into the real world, and try it ........
