REVIEW: 5 Stars to #ThinkOfEngland @ Greenwich Picturehouse 'An absorbing, visually rich thriller with a tightly-knit ensemble cast and a perfectly structured plot' #review #london #whatson

wp.meREVIEW: Think of EnglandThink of England explores the historical rumour that the English government commissioned the creation of three short adult films to boost the morale of servicemen on the frontlines. Far from the ‘Carry On’ images that this premise might conjure up, this is a tense thriller exploring deeply human questions of power and control, with the spectre of war looming large at all times. With a strong ensemble cast, immersive period setting, and stunning cinematography, the film explores how the violence of war extends far beyond the battlefield, leaving no one untouched.

REVIEW: 5 Stars to #OurFriendsInTheNorth @ Theatre Royal 'Completely brilliant and shockingly relevant' #review #newcastle #whatson

wp.meREVIEW: Our Friends in the North It takes a lot for a piece to feel at home on a stage with the grandeur of that of Newcastle Theatre Royal’s, a venue steeped in history and culture. This Autumn the Theatre Royal has united with the Live Theatre and Eastlake Productions making for an iconic partnership bringing a deeply touching story alive. Our Friends in the North is exactly the kind of story that makes you proud to be northern, and one that can reignite a drive for change.
