Amy’s View: Am-dram at its best
Cast and Director – credit: BeLouder Photography The line between Am-dram – Amateur Dramatics – and professional, touring theatre productions can sometimes be almost indistinguishable. Amy’s View, by West Wickham’s ‘Am-dram group’, Matchbox Theatre, was a case in point. A church hall with the centre of the room temporarily transformed into a suburban lounge inContinueContinue reading “Amy’s View: Am-dram at its best”
Opening with a BANG! Bodyguard The Musical
Bromley Buzz was invited to attend the opening night of the much-acclaimed The Bodyguard The Musical at the Churchill Theatre, and all we can say is, opening night opened with a BANG!

Nine tries and a conversion
It felt as if the ground shook as the two teams, Bromley’s Westcombe Park Rugby Football Club (RFC) and Colchester RFC, in what amounted to a decider for the Regional 1 South East title, took to the field at Goddington Dene on Saturday 4th March. A mere £5 for a match programme saw me admitted.ContinueContinue reading “Nine tries and a conversion”
Blood Brothers – Not a dry eye in the house!

This is a moving andContinueContinue reading “Blood Brothers – Not a dry eye in the house!”
Designer Death in Farnborough
Walter Pearce, Member of Parliament, isn’t much of an advert for modern British politics, as we discover in Rob Urbinati’s play, Death By Design, which was presented by the Farnborough Dramatic Society (FDS) in a 3-night run that concluded on 18th February. Pompous and philandering, he is central to the action of the play. ConvincinglyContinueContinue reading “Designer Death in Farnborough”
