Available until: 24^th March 2021

Content warning: 14+, mental health, mentions of suicide

I didn’t realise until after I paid that I was expected to have headphones.

To be fair, the play description does say it’s produced using binaural sound. But I’d never heard of binaural sound and I didn’t look it up because it sounded technical and therefore uninteresting. ‘Bi’ means two and ‘aural’ means listening and there was nothing in that to suggest I might need extra equipment.

THE SNOW QUEEN (Cambridge Junction/Tobacco Factory Theatre)****

  

By Alba

Available until: 3^rd January 2021

The Snow Queen is a good story. It is all about friends and sorting them out when they are being stupid. Kai gets some glass in his eye and then he’s rude to Gerda and then he goes off and she follows him but she has lots of problems like people wanting to eat her. I would of let him go. If my friends are idiots I get new friends.
