Blog
We highlight productions, performances and events that we’ve either enjoyed or are excitedly looking forward to.
Blog entries mostly take the form of bullet-point lists of shows-to-see, but sometimes we’ll publish a deeper-dive reflecting on our experiences of a particular production, festival, or season.
A future goal of ours is to feature more responses and commentary from other writers. For now, it’s just us!
