Good Morning from Sydney!

Hello all!! (Or should I say 'G'day!'?! You non-Aussies love that! Actually, we love it too, really)

This morning, the view from home. Sunshine! Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hope everyone is well! Firstly, apologies for the lull in blogging! I've just arrived in Sydney and will be spending some months here - and the last couple of weeks in London have been incredibly busy with cramming as many interviews (for Theatre Stop), shows (for me), spending time with my London family and friends, and packing. Oh, the packing. Apparently you need to be rather organised when moving out and over to another country for a while - who knew it would take so long?! Thank goodness for lovely friends who are far more efficient packers. And very calm. And bring you chocolate when you're stressed about packing. Anyway, I'm digressing severely.

So, Theatre Stop will continue while I'm in Sydney! I've a nice little backlog of interviews that took place before leaving London, so will have plenty to work on! The only real differences will be that Theatre Stop will cover things on the Sydney theatre front as well as London. In terms of reviewing shows in London, that may be slightly more difficult as I won't be there to see them - believe me, it hurts! - but I think it's a stellar chance for you lot to send in reviews of shows you loved (and perhaps unfortunately, loved less) to share with us all.

So, more exciting things coming up - but next off the bat will be an interview with the lovely and talented Matthew Barrow. Matthew is currently in rehearsal for Merrily We Roll Along* which had a sell out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory and because it's so abso-bloody-lutely brilliant was transferred to the West End and will be opening at the Harold Pinter Theatre (formerly Comedy Theatre) on April 23rd. More about Mr Barrow in the very near future!

So, thank you for your patience and support!

Happy reading!

*Obviously I adore this production, if you haven't head me raving about it already, just you wait. Will be doing a feature on the blog soon. But if you're in London, go, watch, laugh, cry and enjoy! It's truly remarkable on all fronts and deserves all the resounding praise that's been heaped upon it.
