Gabriel Vick stars as Chuck Baxter, a self proclaimed ambitious and resourceful employee at the bottom of the corporate […]
Charlotte Pegram reviews The Kite Runner at Wyndham’s Theatre A heartrending story of a childhood friendship and a lifetime of trying to make amends.

Charlotte Pegram reviews The Trackers of Oxyrhynchus at Finborough Theatre The Trackers of Oxyrhynchus hasn’t been seen on a UK stage for nearly 30 years, which is both sad and ironic. Written by Tony Harrison as a way of reinstating the satyr play (the comedy which is meant […]
Charlotte Pegram reviews Luv at Park Theatre The push and pull of love. You give, you take, and, for the cast of Buckland Theatre Company’s production, you’re never quite sure whether you’re in love at all. A three-strong cast blast their way through this light-hearted comedy. Set in […]
