Wish You Were Dead at Leeds Grand Theatre

I have to admit that I have enjoyed the television exploits of the Brighton-based Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. It makes a change to have a copper who is neither an alcoholic nor serial womaniser and is a victim in his private life rather than an aggressor. I was, therefore, looking forward to seeing what Stage…

Sinfonia at Leeds Playhouse

Sinfonia is the centrepiece of a project between The Performance Ensemble, Leeds Playhouse, Leeds Museums and Galleries and Leeds Older People’s Forum for LEEDS 2023, under the umbrella title of 1001 Stories. Leeds Playhouse has surrendered their premises from 24th April – 6th May to the above to facilitate a series of productions from those…

Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) At Leeds Grand Theatre

I can’t believe that it is over three years since I saw this show at Leeds Playhouse, how time flies when you are in a pandemic. In the interim it has undergone a total cast change and, after touring the country’s theatres, it has enjoyed a successful run in the West End. This production has…

Twitchers at Bingley Little Theatre

Now here’s a novelty, Mikron Theatre Company performing in a real theatre! They normally put on their shows in the most unlikely places such as allotments, museums (should that be musea?), pubs, village halls, allotments and even a lifeboat station. I have seen two of their productions before, one in a working men’s club (the…

Lord of the Flies at Leeds Playhouse

Lord of the Flies is a novel by William Golding set firmly in its time. It was published in 1954 although written a couple of years earlier and rejected by several publishers. It was Golding’s response to a novel he had read, The Coral Island: A Tale of the Pacific Ocean by R M Ballantyne…

Sister Act at Leeds Grand Theatre

After a break in proceedings I returned to the fold to see the touring production of Sister Act. As it happens, the musical has also had an enforced hiatus so we both resumed normal service together. Actually, it wasn’t quite normal service for either of us as the show began, and ended, 20 minutes late…

Ariadne Auf Naxos from Opera North at Leeds Grand Theatre

In the programme the director, Radula Gaitanou, says she wishes that opera were more like football, with the audience not knowing the outcome until the end. Well, she certainly walked the walk in this production, turning it into a game of two halves and, not until the penalty shoot-out at the end, do we find…

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel at Leeds Playhouse

Some months ago a good friend of mine asked if I had seen the film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I replied in the negative and he said that he highly recommended it so, as we seem to share the same taste in quite a few things, especially red wine, I caught it the next…

Henry V at Leeds Playhouse

It had to happen, I have at last seen a modified version of a Shakespeare play that I actually enjoyed. Although I still feel that, if the Trade Descriptions Act applied to the theatre, saying that what we saw was written by the Bard of Avon would be pushing it to the limits, the way…

RIOPY at Howard Assembly Room, Leeds

RIOPY, birth name Jean-Phillippe Rio-Py, like a lot of the performers I have seen at Howard Assembly Room, was someone I had not heard of before my visit. He is a French pianist and composer who has the most amazing back story. He was raised in a secular cult in France and taught himself to…
