Hal Cruttenden - Upstairs at The Fox and Hounds****

4:00pm Thursday 29th May 2008

Warm-up gigs for the Edinburgh Festival are often a good way of seeing rising talent without too much of a hassle or expense and an evening in the company of Hal Cruttenden performing his new hour long Edinburgh set certainly didn't disappoint.

Kafka's Dick - Watford Palace Theatre****

3:57pm Thursday 29th May 2008

GOSH, where is it best to start with deconstructing Alan Bennett's 80s comedy Kafka's Dick?

Patience - The Radlett Centre***

3:53pm Thursday 29th May 2008

The strait-laced image of Gilbert & Sullivan was spectacularly unravelled in an intoxicatingly trippy swirl of colour and free lurve at the Radlett Centre last week.

The Crucible - Kings Langley Players****

3:51pm Thursday 29th May 2008

NOT since Errol Flynn and his Merrie Men stole from the rich to give to the poor, in his famous role as Robin Hood, have so many men in tights been on display as there were at the Kings Langley Community Centre last Friday night.

The Sorcerer**

3:44pm Thursday 29th May 2008

Some things just aren't meant to be. Call it fate, divine intervention or just plain back luck, it seems that PHEOS and their production of The Sorcerer had a curse on it. Late changes to the director and an even later change to the leading man meant that the show (not the best in the Gilbert & Sullivan repertoire) failed to conjure up much magic.

Mini Grey - Author Event*****

3:41pm Thursday 29th May 2008

READING my children books at bedtime is always a pleasure and so when I spotted that Mini Grey, author of one of my seven-year-old's favourite night-time reads, Biscuit Bear, (Nestle Smarties Prize winner in 2004), was coming to St Albans I knew we had to be there.

Pinter Double Bill: Celebration and One for the Road****

The cast live it up in rehearsal for Celebration

3:35pm Thursday 29th May 2008

WATCHING one Pinter play is a delight but two in one evening is a luxury.

Annie Get Your Gun at The Radlett Centre**

3:50pm Tuesday 29th April 2008

WRITTEN by Irving Berlin in 1946, Annie Get Your Gun was an instant Broadway hit.

BBC Family Music Day at Watford Colosseum****

3:20pm Tuesday 29th April 2008

"The orchestra has been held up in traffic," apologises a gleefully nervous Kirsten O'Brien before a restless and rattling crowd of toddlers, teens and parents.

Sarah Hamlin and Sam Beer at Cafe Cha Cha Cha

3:05pm Tuesday 29th April 2008

Read any review of London-based singer songwriter Sam Beer and it will doubtless tell you at least some of the following: that he has the potential to become one of the best singer/songwriters of his generation, and that he looks and (in places) sounds a little like Nick Drake.
