Review of OPERATION MINCEMEAT By Lynn Carroll
I can understand why this show has received such great reviews and I can honestly say it was a marvel of a production so I would urge you to see it if you possibly can. I could not have imagined a show such as this resulting from an eight decades old true war mission...but it worked really well. Ten out of ten

Dial M for Murder Review by Lynn Carroll
I was so glad that I only skimmed the information I found about the play/film as it left plenty to puzzle over and an ending I did not see coming. Judging by the applause the audience agreed with me as it was hearty and full of whistles and cheers.
Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance, 30 Years of Standing Ovations Review by David Jervis-Green
As you would expect, dancing is the centrepiece of this show. To see this company of 20-25 dancers perform with such intrinsic synchronicity is a sight to behold. Not one step out of place, the group numbers are powerful and energetic, each one receiving ecstatic reactions from the audience.
Review: The Palace Theatre Summer Youth Project – Shrek By Nina Jervis-Green
Without exception the cast are incredible, and it’s easy to believe you’re watching future West End stars.

Freddie Strange’s brilliantly campy portrayal of Lord Farquaad was a comedy highlight, while Iris-Lilly Oldham absolutely nailed Princess Fiona’s endearing goofiness throughout.
