Trailer Park: Dominic Wells looks forward to the big films this May
This May, it’s all about the tights – or the lack of them, in Robin Hood’s case – as a brace of testosterone-soaked swashbucklers go head to head with Sex and the City 2 (May 28). The first SATC took $415 million worldwide and [...]
Theatre in May: LOVE BOOM BENT SISTERS
Posted on 26. Apr, 2010 by webmaster in News
When Shakespeare described the month of May as being ‘full of spirit’ he must have been looking South of the River where it’s the season for some big returns. Martin Sherman’s Bent, first performed in 1979, makes its comeback at The Landor with 24-year-old director Andrew Keates at the helm. This thought-provoking and justly famous [...]
