Ultimately this is a story about family and legacy, dissecting what can tear a family apart and what can reunite them. What could potentially be a hard hitting ride through the challenges of creating a home in a new country becomes an entertaining romp through unusual customer service encounters.

Shadows
Shadows is a new performance by Cassa Pancho's Ballet Black, or more accurately two performances. Lasting around 45 minutes each, these two performances tell vastly different stories. Both are beautiful in their own right and a testament to the skill of the performers and choreographer Chanel DaSilva.
I Will Live in Thy Heart
Lloyd has turned the theatre into the ultimate party venue. There are strobe lights, club classics and more pink confetti than you have ever seen! From the moment I entered I felt that I was transported, the familiar setting fading away - this was going to be a fun ride!
She Swore To Never Kill Again
Written from three perspectives, Cruel & Bitter Things is the story of Gwynn Denning who seeks vengeance on a successful business man for date raping her friend when they were at university. And by vengeance yes I do mean that she killed him. But murder tends to get messy.
The Broken Heart of a Changeling Child
My second book of the year was Mary Borsellino's The Hollow Witch, a high fantasy YA novel which takes us on a journey to a place where the cost of magic is a high one. All magic comes at a price, but what that price is varies between fantasy novels.
Can I be Vulnerable With You Guys?
This was a piece of art that determinedly saw how far it could push things, leaning into stereotypes and behaviours that many find repellant in order to find their comedic value. The intimate venue of the yurt was perfect for a comedy set, allowing Horn to interact with the audience.
Sitting in the Dark
Whether you view Oxford Drama as a clique or not, there is no denying that it is a community. For the brief time that you are part of a show, or the society as a whole, you make lasting friendships and have quite the array of memories to take away.
