Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 7
Tuesday 7th August 2018 Gosh, it was a real struggle to remember the date.

The day started with … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 7

Reviews from the Home Front – Shit-Faced Shakespeare
Shit-Faced Shakespeare: Hamlet by Magnificent Bastard Productions Shit-Faced Shakespeare first came onto my radar 5 years ago, when I spent the summer at the Fringe performing with Paperfinch Theatre.

Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 3
Friday 3rd August We arose at the civilised hour of nine and began, what is fast becoming, our morning routine. RuPaul was blaring from our USB speaker, Tim went running, and Jacob polished off four sets of two Weetabix, because it's only polite to finish the sleeve.
