This is an absolutely fantastic show, with stunning writing and a performance to match by Katie Arnstein. If you can, go - you will laugh and cry repeatedly and come out feeling all the better for it New Diorama Theatre

The literature festival Lichfield Festival starts in a week’s time. I’m really looking forward to chatting to sarah sands about The Hedgehog Diaries. It’s beautifully written, weaving in the human and the natural world and I’m learning a lot about hedgehogs!

A century ago the underground dives of Berlin exploded with the risk-taking, risqué songs of the Cabaret movement. Jessica Walker and Joseph Atkins relight that cabaret flame on a journey through the music of Kurt Weill, Kander & Ebb and more. Book now: lichfieldfestival.org/event/smoke-se…
Hugely excited that Jasdeep Singh Degun will be with us next month, playing a stunning late-night concert in Lichfield Cathedral as part of Lichfield Festival on Tuesday July 9th!
In my last year as Associate Artist Lichfield Festival, I am delighted to be sharing two very different recital programmes - this one by Candlelight Lichfield Cathedral with Nocturnes by Chopin, Fauré, & Gabriela Frank, dream-like pieces by Messiaen & Bill Evans, and more…
