A highly charged review of The Rocky Horror Show’s 50th-Anniversary run at Opera House Manchester. This piece details the production’s explosive post-lockdown energy, assessing its successful blend of cult audience participation with the show’s timeless counter-cultural satire.
This article features insights from the cast of Disney’s The Lion King in the lead up to its run in Manchester, UK. I delve into the unique challenges of adapting the iconic film for the stage, the technical majesty of the production, and the cast’s personal experiences connecting with the music and puppetry. The piece highlights the local impact of the show’s residency and the ongoing cultural phenomenon that continues to resonate with audiences.
This piece argues that HBO should have waited until George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire was completed before adaptation. I examine how their failure to do so resulted in a rushed conclusion to a television phenomenon.
