Time Out  (Mon Apr 15 2013) says:

 

A fun event to mark the launch of Havering Borough initiative Creating Brighter Futures. Creating Brighter Futures is geared towards helping young people mature into social and successful adults by engaging with different creative mediums: there’ll even be a performance from renowned Royal Opera singer Joanna Skillet competing for attention with live bands and DJs. What better way than to launch such an inspirational idea with a visit from celebrity clothes stylist Mrs Jones and a pop-up cinema? Don't forget that Mrs Jones will be on hand to offer workshops daylong on how to dress like a star."

Local people become ‘Artists in residence’ through new project aimed at bringing art and wellbeing to Havering homes. Over the past week, hundreds of ‘Home Inside-Out’ creativity guides have been hand-delivered to Havering residents to help locals spruce up their homes and explore their local neighborhoods through new ‘post-lockdown’ eyes.   Created by architecture studio WSMS, this guide gives handy tips to create inspired spaces within your home without having to spend any money, and offers fantastic family ideas of how to get out and about to explore your town as an ‘Urban Investigator’.   ‘Home-Inside Out’ is the first of a series of initiatives that local arts Organisation ‘The NO Collective’ will be running throughout the summer called ‘ourNEST‘, a programme highlighting the work of great local artists, and helping residents find inspiration from their homes and towns. “You may have seen a 6ft Bird House’ being erected outside the ASDA queue in The Mercury in Romford” sa...

Review: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾

Image
 On Wednesday the 4th of May I had the pleasure of attending The Queens Theatre's production of T he Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾.  I would like to preface this review by saying that as a 22 ¼ year old, I came into this show knowing next to nothing about the source material, yet this didn't negatively impact my experience at all. Indeed, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ is a musical that is fun for all generations, even if you're a bit too young to have seen the original series (or to have been alive in the 80's).  The musical was originally written by Jake Brunger with music and lyrics by Pippa Cleary.

Play Review: The Witchfinder's Sister

Image
The Witchfinder's sister is a chilling tale based on the real life witch hunts of Thomas Hopkins. It was first written by Beth Underdown and was later adapted for the stage by Vickie Donoghue. The play tells the tale of Alice Hopkins an intelligent and independent woman who returns to her Essex home after a personal tragedy. Upon her arrival she finds her once beloved brother to be a Witchfinder and embroiled in a dark conspiracy against the women of the area. Alice embarks on a mission to put an end to the hysteria and save the women she knows to be innocent, attempting to save her brother's soul in the process.  Through the use of names and locations most associated with the 1600's witch hunts the story is instantly chilling before the production has even begun. This sense of fear and terror is added to throughout the production through the intense plot, filled with great moments of suspense and an ongoing mystery which allows the audience to unravel the conspiracy...
