Stars Hide Your Fires

Upon first entering The Pilch, the initial thought in the minds of the audiences was the distinct lack of set. Beside the black and white wall hanging that was somewhat reminiscent of a colour by numbers, there was simply a blank canvas.

No one sees what is beneath, no one feels the exhaustion seeping through your veins. In those moments when every step is an effort, only the robin notices. He stands there, upon the bottom most rung of the fence, watching your every move.

Modern society asks us to pack away our creativity in favour of conformity, but what is the true cost of this?

Daisy Jones and the six is an interview style story is the same old tale tired tale of rock and roll and the trials and tribulations that come with the ethos of that world. It is an addictive story that pulls you in, as though you are reading the account of a genuine band.

Some see John O’Groats as the destination, the end of the line, the place where the land of the ancient island that they call Britain runs out. But for me it is merely a port, the place from which the adventure begins.

Quintessentially Evelyn

It has taken me months to actually pick up a copy of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo from my local bookshop. I devoured the book in a matter of days, but did it live up to its reputation?

Spring and Summer Every Day

The play is undoubtedly a comment on society, on the lessons we teach and the ones we don't, and it was a message which was conveyed strikingly. Opening with a haunting song from Am Wyckoff's Wendla, there was the promise of a good show that did not disappoint.

I am not expert when it comes to music, so all that I can truly say is that the skill and raw talent on display here was breath-taking. There is no denying the awe inspiring talent of many artists in Oxford and amongst them without any doubt are Archie Inns and Jake Sternberg.

More History Boys than Hot Girl

From a few too many midnight walks through the city to ginger shots and matcha before rehearsals to getting lost trying to find Latin tutorials, it has been quite the eventful term. Hilary has proved itself to live up to my belief that it is the best term of the three.

You’re Here When Nobody Asked You to be. That’s Love
