Unbroken Productions' Still Life was a quiet depiction of a classic meet cute, in which leads Allen and Bellorini were poetic in their careful development of the fragile relationship

Death is a Mirror
Taking the late spot at the Burton Taylor Studio this week, Kin is a two-hander starring the talented team Wren Talbot-Ponsonby and Lily Massey. Playing two sisters Sarah and Lilly (respectively) reunited at their father’s death bed after twenty years apart, these two navigate the highs and lows of such an encounter adeptly.
The Father of the Atomic Bomb
Every element of this film was flawlessly executed, from the use of monochrome to the explosion to the subtlety of Murphy's emotional performance. The use of the motif of the 'destroyer of words' added poignancy to the narrative unfolding and reminded us of the responsibility that scientists hold in their hands.
Bombs and Barbies
It is no surprise that a film of Nolan's gained significant press when hitting cinemas; however, when two directors as high profile as Nolan and Gerwig collided at the box office the ensuing explosion should have been predicted. The craze that has become known as 'barbenheimer' is one I never seen in cinema before.
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
The vision of the director is filtered through a hundred hands and in the case of Les Mis there are many more than we may at first consider. Victor Hugo's book went through a French iteration before it reached Cameron Mackintosh's hands and became the phenomenon that we are now familiar with.
The House Always Wins
This House Believes was a promising showcase of a musical still very much in its workshopping phase. The team behind the show are committed to sharing the story of an underrepresented group at the university and providing a social comment about The Union.
I’m the Driver
Madness, humour and a little bit of a mind bending plotting went into the creation of this story. Taking place on a station , we learn about the passengers of The Blue Dragon, a train that will take you and a witness to your death if you choose it.
The Champagne and the Stars
At the end of the day this is story that is close to many people’s hearts due to the frivolous glamour of Gatsby’s parties and the dream of the Jazz Age that permeates the world. Scar Theatre’s adaptation of the story was one which successfully captured the wide-eyed wonder that keeps people hooked even a century later.
All His Life He has Been Speaking Nothing but the Truth
This was my first experience of the play being performed and it was immensely enjoyable. From the drunken antics and female sensationalism to the fearsome performance of Lady Bracknell, this was a wonderful use of a Trinity evening.
This is Hardly Reinstating your Faith in Faith
Ultimately, drama is a spectator sport and no one proved this better than Gabriel and Lucifer, who having staked their claims sat back with a bag of popcorn and let the chaos of Mia's life ensue.
