In The Nosebleeds

An amateur review site.

My name’s Maggie. I’m a 20-something Aussie living in London and spending all my money on theatre tickets. This is what I think about theatre (and other stuff).

Stalled

⭐⭐ Good music doesn’t save this overstuffed show from being just plain exhausting.

Theatre
My recent watchlist: Sergeant Rutledge and Life of Pi

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eight stars across two excellent picks from recent weeks.

Film
Oliver!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes a classic’s just a classic.

Theatre
The Gift

⭐⭐ Poo-dunnit has a few decent gags but limited appeal.

Theatre
Don’t Worry Darling

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfying thriller asks some intriguing questions about gender dynamics.

Film
One Man Musical

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant comedy duo Flo and Joan make their excellent musical debut.

Theatre
Dr Strangelove (and a few more tangents than normal)

⭐⭐⭐ A perfectly entertaining show that doesn’t quite live up to its potential.

Theatre
Juno and the Paycock

⭐⭐⭐ Some good elements don’t always sit well side-by-side.

Theatre
What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A funny, intelligent exploration of modern Judaism.

Theatre
Hadestown (and some navel-gazing on subjectivity)

⭐⭐⭐ A conflicted, fairly begrudging 3-star review.
