Review: KIDNAPPED, Theatre Royal, Glasgow
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Apr 6, 2023
This riotous re-telling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure novella is jam-packed with 20th century pop music and 18th century romance. Performed by a dynamic ensemble of actor-musicians, Kidnapped is a colourful coming-of-age story - shot-through with Stevenson’s trademark blend of poetry, humour and heart.

Review: PRIDE & PREJUDICE* (*SORT OF), Richmond Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Feb 14, 2023

Guest Blog: Lucy Gray from PRIDE & PREJUDICE* (*SORT OF) Talks Regency Chaos, Audience Connection and Queer Love in Jane Austen
by Guest Blog: Lucy Gray - Jan 28, 2023

But if you ever choose to go about reading one of her books (an activity I can only recommend) then you’ll see that her work is brimming with wit, sexiness and a deep critique of what society considers to be important.
