Review – Morgan & West: Clockwork Miracles
This is not your run-of-the-mill magic show. This one has a coherent and engaging storyline tying all the tricks together.
Review – Altar Ego
Altar Ego is a series of vignettes about marriage and relationships, told by both genders. Some were incredibly funny, others almost deadly serious.

Agnes of God quickly establishes its premise: a young nun is found in her quarters, bleeding and alone, having apparently murdered her new-born baby.

What’s the best way to prepare yourself for the deluge of amazing artists descending on us next week?

Steve Hughes’ “Big Issues” deals with precisely that – the big issues facing our society.
Review – EastEnd Cabaret: Notoriously Kinky
EastEnd Cabaret were one of our favourite acts last year and with good bloody reason too.
Antiview – Doku Rai – You, Dead Man, I Don’t Believe You
Doku Rai producer Alex Ben-Mayor is not a simple farm boy.
