BRIGHTON FESTIVAL REVIEW: Kneehigh : Tristan & Yseult

Kneehigh always get it just right, flavoursome reinvention of tradition and their blend of comedy, music, physical chorography, dance and top notch performers bring a superb energy to the theatre and their take on classic situations allow us an intimate depth of connection with the action sometimes

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL REVIEW: Meow Meow: Souvenir

I am a huge Meow fan, but this evening made me think about collaborations between superb fringe performers who OWN their venue and audience and take them on a journey into performance on trust and that of a Festival show which is deluged by the weight of its own expectations and slowly drowns in fro

BRIGHTON FRINGE REVIEW: CIRCUS’SISSION: Bosco Tent

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL REVIEW: Five short blasts

An interesting boat trip, some food for thought, a moment feeling free of the land and riding the wild white breakers of the churning sea, safe in a boat, with a few moments of delightful silliness which I won’t spoil but contain more than one trombone it all adds up to something delightful, etherea
