GOD OF CARNAGE at Masquers Playhouse brings conflict and human nature to the forefront and shines a light on our tendencies to attack and our capacity to empathize and connect. With arguments evolving from couple against couple to husbands against wives, the show takes you on a rollercoaster of verbal sparring. With each person lobbing insults and dodging attacks, it becomes evident that a meeting without respectful listening will yield no winners. Masquers Playhouse production reminds us why this play by Yasmine Reza was so well received on Broadway back in 2009.

Clad in an orange lab coat, silver googles and a superhero Kaboom t-shirt, David Epley, plays Doktor Kaboom, a scientist-comedian. Kaboom returns to the EdFringe for a third run, with an honourable mission of making science accessible to all, by educating using child-friendly experiments.

THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT explores the terrain of where fact and story meet, where art and truth intersect, and how they can work together or against each other. Are facts negotiable? Can specificity kill interest and ultimately undermine the goal? What matters most and who gets to decide? These are the questions that the play parses, dissects, and spins into a web of engaging dialogue. THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT will change how you read everything.

The cast has been announced for the first-look concerts of YOU AND I, set to take place at Phoenix Arts Club in London from July 10-14, 2024.

It's a rollicking, raucous, adrenaline-pumping, soulful and yet sometimes sad affair

With over fifteen years and six albums under their belt, California’s own Joyce Manor made their live TV debut and played two of their most beloved songs on ‘John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA’ last night live via Netflix. Personally requested by Mulaney, the band performed 2011’s stand out track “Constant Headache” and “Catalina Fight Song” from 2014’s ‘Never Hungover Again.’

Sydney Theatre Company and Gate Theatre’s-production of Thomas Bernhard’s THE PRESIDENT arrives in Sydney following it’s Dublin season.  Directed by Gate’s Tom Creed, the political satire, translated by Gitta Honegger, from 1975 retains a relevance in the contemporary world of leaders that forget they govern democracies and are elected to serve the people.

A jazz album for the holidays that packs a serious artistic and emotional wallop.

“Death Song” was recorded, mixed, and produced by Justin “JD” DeBlieck (ex-Ice Nine Kills) at JdB Audio Productions - who also assisted with the band’s 2022 LP Tyrants and “Past Life” - and was mastered by Steve Sopchak at The Square Studio. This single also features an official music video, which was shot by Prevail Media Group.

I was expecting a thriller along the lines of MISERY, but in the end the psychological aspects of SWITZERLAND are such that make it a chiller instead. Kenn McLaughlin, Sally Edmundson, and Ian James make a great team to bring it to life.

The US police force perhaps isn’t the most obvious subject for a comedy musical, but Police Cops: The Musical turns an unlikely premise into a undeniable hit. Fresh from a hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe, this slick satire of the US eighties is enjoying yet more success in London. From the minds of trio Zachary Hunt, Nathan Parkinson and Tom Roe comes a full-throttle ride through the cliches of American action movies.

Rancid share the music video for “Live Forever”, a track lifted from their new album Tomorrow Never Come. Over rapid-fire vocal chants and classic punk riffs, the black and white video captures unseen footage of the band during their massive European tour this past June, including headline shows and performances at Hell Fest and beyond.

Melissa Ferrick has released a new single, her first new music in eight years. After eight years of working in academia, this revered live performer, songwriter, and producer is back! Ferrick’s new single “Black Dress,” out now everywhere, conjures the swagger of Brass in Pocket and the sexy groove of Bridgers' Motion Sickness.

“All Lined Up” perfectly renders the intensity of Sheer Mag’s commitment to songcraft, layering direct, delightfully sweet-turned-sour guitar licks and swirling call-and-response vocal hooks over a throbbing drumline, evoking the anxiously excited, contemporary-Studio-54-tinged thrill of not knowing exactly what you just took.

It has been 20 years since Martin McDonagh’s play The Pillowman was first staged at the National Theatre and following a delay caused by the pandemic, it’s now returned to London for the first time since 2003.
