Untangling Science is a brilliant podcast by Darragh Ennis who is most famous for being a Chaser on the Chase but he’s also a scientist. He really wants to share science with other people and show them how interesting and important it is and he does a really good job of this.

Emerging Voices is a collection of eight short plays by students from the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, presented by Thornhill Theatre Space as part of #TTSFringe2. The plays were written when the students were in the 10^th-12th grades. If you’re in England or Wales, that’s Years 11-13 and if you’re in Scotland, that’s S4-S6. I’m in Year 10 and it is amazing to think some of these writers are only one year older than me, but they are already able to write really mature plays.

Charles Dickens is known for his larger-than-life characters with impossible names, but I first encountered him as the writer of a ghost story – A Christmas Carol. Although I had a feeling he’d written other stories with a spooky theme, I hadn’t read or heard any of them till listening to this reading of The Signalman.

I’ll listen to anything with Dick in the title. Especially if there’s a chance of people getting eaten by something other than zombies. But I wouldn’t give five stars based on that. It has to have other good bits in too and I’m not just talking about rude stuff.

I’ll try to keep it fairly serious in this review. I don’t want to cause offence. It’s fun to joke around a bit but the most important thing to get across is that A Theater in the Dark worked really hard on this project so I don’t want to show disrespect.

A 2020 Vision is a really beautiful performance which is part of #TTFringe2. It’s all about the pandemic, which has caused a lot of sadness, but this play is full of happiness and hope.

It was written by Emma Wood ‘and the people of Victoria, Australia’ and it includes a selection of so many of the different situations the people of Victoria have faced since the start of the pandemic. Their words were taken from a questionnaire which asked fourteen questions over fourteen days to about two hundred people.

Lots of theatres are reopening all over the country but there is still lots of online theatre to be enjoyed and one company who has said they will keep going because they are enjoying it so much is Shake-Scene Theatre Company. They have already started their King Henry VI cycle with the final part coming next month. We will be reviewing all three close together like we did with Henry IV.
