Homelessness is heartbreaking, and with all the stats and facts and stereotypes out there it's easy to forget the real people behind the cardboard signs and sleeping bags.
Theatre Review | WNO The Magic Flute – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
Would you expect the opening scene of an opera to feature an enormous, monstrous lobster? Neither would I; but my latest trip to the theatre proved that there's a first time for everything!

Less looking to the future and more looking to the past; here's what I loved in April this year.
Poem | Asylum in Print
I like nothing better than escaping into a good book. It's my favourite kind of holiday; taking a break from my own life and delving into someone else's, finding solace between pages.
Theatre Review | Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs) – Nuffield Southampton Theatres
The titular dead dog in this show is just one small part of a production which flips a classic opera on its head and turns it into a mixtape that covers the entire emotional spectrum.
Theatre Review | Annie – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
Annie whisks you back to a time of uncertainty and hardship during America's Great Depression, but shares a story of hope, resilience, and optimism. You're bound to be grinning by the end: after all...you're never fully dressed without a smile.

Theatre Review| The Rocky Horror Show – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
Prepare yourself for a night unlike any other; this show will haul you onto your feet and make you weak at the knees, and leave you wanting more, more, more, more!
