‘Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.’ Seriously impressive puppeting , a wonderful evocative show and worth experiencing if you can get or beg a ticket.

This is an utterly charming performance, with some of Kents signature touches, a stage filling bit of spectacle, live orchestra, La Boehme is a romantically sad story, ending in tragedy but with some delightful set pieces celebrating love hope and beauty
The exhibition coincides with a run of Mother Goose at Theatre Royal Brighton down the road, starring Sir Ian McKellen and John Bishop
Morning Glory starring Jason Sutton aka Miss Jason is at Theatre Royal Brighton on Tuesday, September 13 with back to back performances at 7pm and 8.30pm.
Cluedo was this; a great farce trying to escape from a rather dull game, but trapped like a trap in a trap, wriggling with all the energy of a committed talented cast, sometimes fighting against their material with real verve and mostly succeeding, but there were quite a few moments where it didn’t work.
Jamie Glover’s excellent production certainly brings out the dark humour of the play. It’s always exciting in the theatre to find yourself laughing and then almost immediately feeling slightly guilty for doing so.
A period delight, executed with humour and panache and certainly one for Cowards fans or anyone interested in a certain type of arch, camp dialogue driven relationship comedies with a delicious vicious core.
Molly-Grace Cutler as Carole King is touching, she’s totally there, filled with charming vulnerable and buoyant hope, it’s a beguiling performance, hinting at the steeliness at Carols core and her tenacity to be heard on her own terms, and the second half focuses more on her music than the AWOL plot.
Apollo Theatre Company’s production of Round The Horne will be at Theatre Royal Brighton on Monday, January 31 (for one night only!) and the Sussex Beacon will be there shaking buckets to raise vital funds to care and support people living with HIV in Sussex.
Building up into an entirely daft crescendo of madness the entire play, cast, set and night literally starts to fall apart. It’s done with such wit and well-rehearsed charm that it looks random and ad hoc a real testament to this tightly worked and skillfully directed groups of actors who all work very hard to ensure the chaos on stage stays well within the boundaries of laughter.
