• Mayhem Film Festival – I Am Not A Serial Killer

  • The Great Gatsby @ Lakeside Arts Centre

    Energetic, authentic and emotional, that’s how I would sum up this performance! Taking a well-loved classic close to all our hearts, director Laura Jayne Bateman made this modern classic come to life using only a very minimalistic set and five actors.

  • Album Review: Kate Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos
