Culturebean at Legally Blonde... the Musical!

Musical 16:43:00
Drum roll please. Bright flashing lights please. Loud poptastic music please. Oh my gawd you guys it's... LEGALLY BLONDE! This, if I do say so myself, was the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. But that is NOT a criticism. I lo, lo, loved it. It took me away to a place full of joy, laughter and the colour pink! It had bags of...

Culturebean at The Man Met Exchange: Single Sex

Drama 15:38:00
This week I skipped along to the Man Met Exchange Project at The Royal Exchange in Manchester. Ok, well I didn't skip. I sort of camped under an umbrella, hiding from the thundering rain and trying to force my way through the wind. But if it was sunny, I would have skipped.  I paid £5 for my ticket. Yes, it was a bargain....

Culturebean at 24:7 The Crimson Retribution

Drama 15:31:00
The week has come to an end, and the final play I had the pleasure of watching was, 'The Crimson Retribution'. As a volunteer at this festival, and because I'm such a rebel, I liked to simply shorten it to, 'Crimson'. Or maybe I'm just lazy... Or maybe I struggled to pronounce the last word... I'll leave you to decide which. So, 'The...

Culturebean at 24:7 The Rainbow Connection

Drama 13:52:00
Easily, this was the funniest play I watched at the 24:7 Festival. It oozed humour by the bucket load. I don't think a minute went by without at least a chuckle from the audience. As a comedy writer myself, I know how difficult it is to make people laugh. So, well done to the writer Joanne Sherryden, who executed comedy with precision. There...

Culturebean at 24:7 Peggy and the Spaceman

Drama 20:29:00
This is the first family show EVER to be involved in the festival. And a magical one at that! This is a story that follows Peggy's (and rovers) mission to meet the spaceman!  She wants to go into space to escape Mean Janine, but first has to get to the town hall to see you're a banana... sorry I mean Yuri Gagarin. I...

Culturebean at 24:7 The Shadow Of Your Hand

Drama 22:23:00
So, this was the first play I had the chance to watch at this years 24:7 Theatre Festival! 'The Shadow Of Your Hand's' plot could be described very simply; the events that follow when a man invites a homeless woman into his flat. Now, I know what you're all thinking. You think you can predict what happens. Go on, decide now what happens....

Robes, Jennifer Saunders and Obama; My Graduation

other 20:47:00
EDGE HILL UNIVERSITY So, the big day arrived and it was finally my graduation! Three years of hard work, hard exams and hard... partying. Ok, scratch the last one. I had been up since 6am. I kid you not, I actually awoke that early. You can probably guess why; I had to wash my hair at least 3 hours prior so it could...

One week and counting...

Theatre 22:08:00
So, today I got my shifts confirmed for the 24:7 Manchester Festival! A week long event, which as the festival producer David Slack proudly announces, 'nurtures new talent in both writing, directing, performing and producing theatre.' I will definitely be working at 'Peggy and the Spaceman.' The first Family Friendly show to be performed at this festival, which is in it's 8th year!...

life is... jokes The purpose of this blog is to give me a way of getting my thoughts out in to the big wide web! Hence the title of my blog 'everthought'. You see I'm a writer at heart, I'm qualified and everything now with my BA (Hons) Creative Writing and Drama degree! I got a 2:1. No, no you can hold the...
