Review: THE WITCHING HOUR, Bridewell TheatreIt’s haunted by a script that’s as creaky as the house investigated by the characters, but it’s captivating enough here and there. After a fascinating lecture held by Professor Dubois, Erin sets off to find out why people keep disappearing at Torhill Wood. The plot, initially propped up by rationality, becomes sillier and sillier as it winds down. There are plenty of delicious jump-scares alongside valid theories, namely how the witch-hunts were a byproduct of the weaponisation of ignorance as a tool for oppression and control. The conversation at the heart is enthralling, but the interesting turns are, unfortunately, engulfed by more subpar material.

Review: FIRST NIGHT OF THE PROMS 2024, Royal Albert HallUnlike the Last Night of the Proms, which has developed its own mythology and status (thanks to the traditions that surround it), the First Night of the Proms is not bound by any particular structure or the need to play any specific pieces; there’s a freedom to it that spills out into the audience, eager for the new season to get underway.
