After much anticipation I went to see She Stoops to Conquer this evening. I was sitting in the front row and found the experience enchanting. Notable were Sophie Thompson’s Performance as the eccentric and delightfully daft Mrs Hardcastle and John Heffernan’s turn as George Hastings.

Neil Austin’s lighting design was beautifully understated and alongside Mark Thompson’s set provided a wonderful setting for this riotous comedy.

I went to see The Lion in Winter on Thursday night at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the production, but I wasn’t disappointed. Joanna Lumley was absolutely sensational, I absolutely loved Stephen Brimson Lewis’ set and exquisitely lit by Peter Mumford.

Thanks to Masterclass my ticket only cost me £2!
