Much Ado About Shakespeare’s Women

Juliet's line 'Romeo, Romeo, where the f**k are you?', got the Creative Curve Theatre Company’s new production of ‘Not Such Stuff’ by Chris Wind off to a striking start. Lines borrowed from Shakespeare were woven into a script written in his style, but with a modern take on the plots that eight of his female characters,Continue reading "Much Ado About Shakespeare’s Women"

Jesus Christ Superstar: Effervescence

The new production of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar now on at Bromley's Churchill Theatre until 2nd March sparkles!. Hence the use of the word 'effervescence' in the post title, prompted by our post-show summary of the audience reaction: absolutely bubbling. Or perhaps, this being the Bromley Buzz, absolutely buzzing. What also impressed is thatContinue reading "Jesus Christ Superstar: Effervescence"

Cinderella Pantomime – Dreams can come true…

Before the clock struck Twelve, the Bromley Buzz took a magical trip into the classic (perhaps not so classic) Christmas Cinderella pantomime at Bromley's Churchill Theatre, where we encountered the perfect panto ingredients of fun, laughter, glitzy costumes and, of course, the recipe would not be completed without all the boos, hisses and audience participationContinue reading "Cinderella Pantomime – Dreams can come true…"

Dennis of Penge – God of Ecstasy

As soon as Dennis of Penge at the Bridge House Theatre in Penge was announced, I was eager to see this play and had to get Bromley Buzz co-presenter Darren to come along; even more so, as a friend of ours (Trevor Davis, as Clovis) was acting in this show. Dennis of Penge is inspiredContinue reading "Dennis of Penge – God of Ecstasy"

The Merchant Of Venice 1936: Wow

We used the word 'tremendous' on our Instagram to describe the new production of 'The Merchant Of Venice' with '1936' added to the title, running at Bromley's Churchill Theatre until 28th October, tickets here. On further reflection, the word 'Wow' is even better. A longer summary might be that this is a play that, forContinue reading "The Merchant Of Venice 1936: Wow"
