Venue: Live Theatre, Newcastle
Every so often you know within the first few minutes of a production that you are witnessing something special and so it is with Geoff Dead: Disco For Sale. Writer Fiona Evans and director Deborah Bruce have brought us a play which at admittedly at times is funny, but mainly thought provoking and heart wrenching.

Review -Our House

Venue: Sunderland Empire
Date Reviewed: 30th September, 2008
Our House had its first outing in the West End a few years ago and was not an out and out success but luckily it is now retold for its first UK tour and it pulls a real punch.
Containing the songs of 80s pop group Madness, the show is a combination of the hit film Sliding Doors and stage musical Blood Brothers, with quick references to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Titanic and Oliver! thrown in for comic effect along the way and it all works beautifully. Read more
