Jeezus at the New Diorama Theatre is a subversive, irreverent musical, mixing poetry, politics and song. Catholic guilt, dark humour and a Latin beat. The award-winning migrant-led Alpaqa company is fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe. Pray for a ticket before it ends

An invite from our mate Jeff Rawle (Drop the Dead Donkey) to see his scene-stealing performance in Shadowlands, with Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey) and Maggie Siff (Mad Men & Billions)

Jeff is best known for Billy Liar, Drop the Dead Donkey, Doc Martin and Harry Potter.

The sad story of CS Lewis and his American wife, is beautifully staged with excellently choreographed scene changes, strong performances from an excellent supporting cast and plenty of witty lines to ease you through the tragedy.

Catch it now at the Aldwych Theatre before the limited run ends.

Out of the Shadowlands and into the limelight!

Arte antiguo de Banksy con estudiantes de Murcia, Espana, en frente del Old Truman Brewery en Spitalfields. Sin gasolina, sin electricidad, sin motor!

My walking tour today included the new Banksy in Waterloo Place. Catch it quickly before it gets moved on. Street Art for art’s sake.

Oh What a night, at the wonderful Cadagon Hall in Chelsea, to watch the world’s longest running Franki Valli & the Four Seasons tribute show, Frankie’s Guys. Another example of the rich variety of culture and entertainment available across the Capital. If you Walk Like a Man, Grease is the word, but for now Bye Bye Baby!
