Hello.

I've been having a lovely old time. Of course not winning any of these prizes mentioned previously but continuing not to renounce theatre in retaliation, you'll be relieved to know. 

I've done a very small amount of reviewing so far, this year. Stand out shows from Manipulate, which I did manage to encounter a little of (poor sentence), were Tess by the wonderful Ockham's Razor and this extraordinary show which was largely composed of tiny hoovers. 

I've just seen the Lyceum's lovely Girls of Slender Means and toiled over the review, soon to be published, no doubt. I was somewhat underwhelmed by James V. And Hamilton, in touring form, continues to be a spectacular feat though inevitably somewhat scaled back from the West End festivity of technical complexity. 

However, I was lucky enough to see x2 shows in London recently which were both - astonishing is a strong word - but possibly actually astonishing. I need to consider my words here so will report back - you'll wait with baited breath - in due course.
