[Show] Hadestown
I was in the front row for this one and the thunderous score reverberated inside me like a railroad train bound straight for hell.

Bob Odenkirk tosses a grenade.

[Film] Nobody 2
If you’re going to jump the shark this spectacularly, make sure you do a flying roundhouse kick on the way down.

[Video] The creative process
A wonderful video about the creative process and how behind-the-scenes footage of the recent Superman film validates the thought and passion that can go into it.


Spotlight

Members of The Pretend Company.

Come and see The Pretend Company at Hoopla on 6th September - Gaga, Senyah, Chok, Harrison and Mead!

I’m trying to walk 3 miles every day.
