Review: MEET ME AT THE KNOB, Oran Mor, Glasgow
1920s Broomielaw in Glasgow was ruled by a little-remembered and little spoke about gang called the White Hats. This wasn’t your usual bunch of butch macho razor-boys, no, the White Hat Boys did it differently. They stole, sold their bodies, bribed government officials and wealthy clients with the threat of turning them in to the police for acts of homosexuality. And they did it whilst in drag.

BWW Review: RAPUNZEL, National Theatre of Scotland
“You all know the story of Rapunzel, right? That lassie with the long hair who’s been trapped in her lockdown tower for what feels like forever. The lassie who’s sitting there like a loon waiting for some Prince will come along and save her. Well, think again.

BWW Review: CINDERFELLA, Tron Theatre, Glasgow
Well, that's the life Cinderella leads. It's a pure nightmare - and her family? Well, they make the Kardashians look positively normal. She's got two idiotic step-brothers - Harry and Larry - who are incapable of doing anything for themselves; a Stepmother so wicked she makes Ann Widdecombe look warm and cuddly; AND she has to work morning, noon and night in the family dressmaking business, the only place with lovely memories of her deceased mother and father. It's not a happy life.

BWW Review: MAMMY GOOSE, Tron Theatre, Glasgow
Mammy Goose always thought she was going to be somebody, though life hasn't quite worked out like that. Her dreams of glittering Holyrood parties hob-knobbing with the Scottish elite like The Krankies and Sean Batty have gone down the pan. The frying pan. Her life is less Debbie McGhee more McGhee's the Bakers. She's working her fingers to the bone in that wee cafe of hers with her only friend in the world is Lucy - a talking Goose (and you can imagine the stares in street walking arm-in-arm with a 6ft goose).
