…Is this one mainly because Clive Owen makes me a little bit giggly. Will have to content myself with the poster for the time being (thanks to @polyg) until he decides to tread the board again.

Dave the Cat was born different. He heard music and rhythm in the unlikeliest places; he was born to be on the stage. And so begins the tale of a man dressed with a tail – talented or delusional, the truth slowly unfolds through a brief stint as Jesus's ass in Jesus Christ Superstar and…

You don't realise how many people there are hanging about the streets until you have to try and suss them out. It is all part of a new interactive street theatre experience called the Rise and Fall of Geo Goynes that is currently being developed by Root Experience. Based out of the St James Theatre…

Mojo production photo by Alastair Muir It's rare for me to see a play more than once and even rarer to see the last performance, I'm normally in during preview and then that's it. So it is extremely unusual to have seen not one but two last nights in the space of a fortnight. If…

Gemma Arterton, Duchess of Malfi, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse First trip to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse which Poly described perfectly as "like being in a doll's house" to which I would add "and about as comfortable" but I won't dwell on that here.

This year is certainly the year of food on stage. We've had baskets of nuts in Liola at the National and eggs, lots of eggs in the Cripple of Inishmaan at the Noel Coward to name just two but Roots at the Donmar beats them both. There are three acts, two set in kitchens and…

Not that I've been wishing the year away but October is a milestone month for theatre excitement and the start of fabulous run up to the festive season. In my book anyway. October is RII DT (as I believe it is vogue to call it) in Stratford and then London in December. October is also…

Another underwhelming trailer for a play and another opportunity missed – and this one is being broadcast in cinemas to advertise the live broadcast. I'll save you 1 min 38 seconds – it's sweeping views of English countryside with the scepter'd isle speech as a voice over. Then the camera pulls back showing a pile…

I don't know, you wait three years for Ben Whishaw to hit the stage again and he does two plays in a year. Not that I'm complaining (my bank manager is but la la la). No, certainly not complaining, far from it. The second of his 2013 stage outings is an interesting prospect indeed. Mojo…
